Ugly Duckling - Rio de Janeiro lyrics

Now you can come visit any time of year
And the sun is shining 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 red-eyed flight
Cause, I gotta hit the festival
(Tell em why) it's set to go
Four whole days at a very high decibel
We'll 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
Cause, I think we got a UD show tomorrow
And I have to go to São 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

You gotta go to Rio, go to Rio with me
If you wanna carnival, carnival with me
Cause 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
Cause you need to get away, get away with me
To (Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro)

Get off the sofa, let's bossanova
Come and do la cosa nostra
And we're gonna make it like presto
Alakazaam, out with my man
Windjam on the catamaran
It's Rio de Janeiro
Nail the map with a thumb tack
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 talking to me in Portuguese
I do mas que nada, which means the minimum
Sipping Brazilian coffee with a
Bit of cinnamon
Do you find the daily grind is inescapable?
Have a rest from the stress
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 let's go, let's go
We gotta go let's go, let's go
(Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro)

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