Lyrics
DOWN IN RIO
words & music
by: Phil Morrison
The music sounds sogood But you knew it would
...Down In Rio
Feel that samba beat From your head to your feet...Down In Rio
Let your body move
To a Brazilian groove...
Down In Rio
Copacabana beach
Is within your reach...
Down In Rio
Bossa nova is playing peopledanceeverywhere Tropical trees gentlyswaying you feel romance intheair
Let your dreams cometrue
'Cause you feel brandnew...
Down In Rio
You'll go back for more To that Brazilianshore...
Down In Rio
(piano - percussion solo)
Your thoughts arerunningfree
As you walk to the sea...
Down In Rio Corcovado stands
Above this magic land...Down In Rio Let your spirit fly Reach those stars in the sky...Down In Rio Drink some Guarana At the sidewalk bar...Down In Rio Bossa Nova is playing - people dance everywhere Tropical trees gently swaying - you feel romance in the air Yes it's party time And the weather's fine...Down In Rio Carnaval is here Every day of the year...Down In Rio - Down In Rio - Rio de Janeiro...
