Lyrics:

Way down in the land of the Rio Grande
When people get married they always have a dance
The music is grand, with a samba band
And people are carried away with such romance

Ole, ole, the wedding samba
Will bring a timid senorita to her feet
And when they play the wedding samba
She will say 'I do' and seal it with a samba beat

That's how it goes
In fiesta time the beat of a samba is always in the air
And everyone knows it's fiesta time
And join in the samba around the happy pair

And that is how it goes,
In fiesta time the beat of a samba is always in the air
And everybody knows it's fiesta time
And join in the samba around the happy pair
