An old sailor in old time sing an old song
Rolling down to Rio by the sea
A young sailor in these times would sing a new song
Flying down to Rio, come with meWhere the lovely Brazilian ladies
Will catch your ride
By the light of the million stars
In the evening skyMy 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 timeYou'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 thereOh, Rio, everything will be okay
We're singing and winging our way to youYou'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 thereOh Rio, everything will be okay
We're singing and winging our way to you
