An old sailor in old time sing an old song Rolling down to the Rio by the sea A young sailor in these times would sing a new song Flying down to Rio, come with me
Where the lovely Brazilian ladies Will catch you ride By the light of the million stars In the evening sky
My Rio Rio by the sea-o Flying down to Rio where there's rhythm and rhyme Hey feller twirl that old propeller Got to get to Rio and we've got to make time
You'll love it, soaring high above it Looking down on Rio from a heaven of blue Send a radio to Rio De Janeiro with a big hello Just so they'll know and stand by there, we'll fly there
Oh Rio, everything will be okay We're singing and winging our way to you
You'll love it, soaring high above it Looking down on Rio from a heaven of blue Send a radio to Rio De Janeiro with a big hello Just so they'll know and stand by there, we'll fly there
Oh Rio, everything will be okay We're singing and winging our way to you
