Rio, Rio, Rio is a lovely place Rio, Rio, Rio's got a smiling face If you have no one to make you feel right If you need someone to dance with all night just go to Rio, where Gio 'll be playing for you (Wheoe, wheoe!)
Rio, Rio, Rio's got a lot to spend Rio, Rio, Rio you will understand Copa Cabana, just lie in the sun and in the evening it takes ev'ryone to the flickering lights many long summernights to go through (Wheoe, wheoe!)
If I should see you there I'd take you ev'rywhere like many others we'd be lovers for a while and in the morning sun we'd dance like ev'ryone Rio is a lovely place Rio is a lovely place Rio is a lovely, Rio is so lovely You won't have much time to waste
If you go to Rio in the summer You will always find some people there and there'll be a crazy latin drummer callin' you somewhere If you go to Rio when it's springtime You can heard a sentimental song someone will be playing, he's called Gio and I'll be dancing on
