When things get stale You get on a boat and sail to Rio The beaches and the sea That's where I long to be In Rio But I'm workin' for the man every day up in the city Got to get away on a boat around the corner And it's waiting there for you and me In Rio Dark eyed lady Drive Mercedes everywhere In Rio She said, "Do you want to take a ride?" So I jumped right in beside her In Rio But I'm workin' for the man every day up in the city Got to get away on a boat around the corner And it's waiting there for you and me In Rio When things get stale You get on a boat and sail to Rio The beaches and the sea That's where I long to be In Rio
