Say, have you seen the carioca? It's not a foxtrot or a polka It has a little bit of new rhythm A blue rhtthm that sights
It has a meter that is tricky A bit of wicked wacky-wicky But when you dance it with a new love There's a true love in her eyes
You dream of a new Carioca It's theme is a kiss and a sight You dream of a new carioca When music and lights are gone and we're saying goodbye
Two heads together, they say are better than one Two heads together, that's how the dance's begun Two arms around you and lips that sigh I'm yours anda you're mine
While the carioca carries you away While we carica till the break of day
Now that you've done the carioca You'll never care to do the polka And then you'll realize the blue hula anda bamboola are through
Tomorrow morning you"ll discover You're just a carioca lover And when you dance it with a new love There'll be true love just for you
You'll dream of a new carioca Its theme is a kiss and a sigh You'll dream of a new carioca When music and lights are gone and we're saying goodbye When music lights are gone and we're saying goodbye When music lights are gone and we're saying goodbye
