Rio De Janeiro

Now you can come visit any time of year
And the sun is shinin and the skies are clear
If you're lookin for love you can find it here
So give Diz a couple minutes up inside your ear
I'm lookin for the light like a Jedi Knight
So I'm headed for Brazil on a redeye flight
Cuz I gotta hit the festival (tell 'em why) it's set to go
Four whole days at a very high decibel
We cut loose and dance in the streets
All the way down to Copacabana Beach
And when it's all over, recovery mode
I'm out in Ipanema to relax and reload
Cuz I think we got a UD show tomorrow
And I have to go to Sao Paulo, I know
Andy's at a soccer game, Rod's in a Speedo
I'm not Michael Caine but I’ll blame it on Rio

[Chorus]
You gotta go to Rio, go to Rio with me
If you wanna carnival, carnival with me
Cuz you need to get away, get away with me
And we're gonna do it now, do it now with me
If you gotta go to Rio, go to Rio with me
If you wanna carnival, carnival with me
Cuz you need to get away, get away with me to
(Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro)

Get off the sofa, let's bossa nova
Come and do la cosa nostra
And we're gonna make it like presto allakhazam
Madam or man, windjam on the catamaran
It's Rio de Janeiro, nail the map with a thumbtack
And before you unpack you wish you could come back (why)
Because the weather's warm and toasty like an oven mitt
And I'd be lyin if I said I wasn't lovin it
Watch the palm trees sway in the breeze
Beautiful girls talkin to me in Portuguese
I do mas que nada, which means the minimum
Sippin Brazilian coffee with a bit of cinnamon
Do you find the daily grind is inescapable
Have a rest from the stress that’s begun to take it’s hold
There's no other place to go (bro) it's the apex
Talk to your boss and save up your paychecks

We gotta
Let's go, let's go
Let's go, let's go
We gotta go
Let's go, let's go
(Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro)

[Chorus]

Sugarloaf Mountain
Guanabara Bay
Cristo Redentor
It’s in (Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro)
