When my baby, when my baby smiles at me
I go to Rio De Janeiro, my-oh-me-oh
When my baby smiles at me
I do the Samba and La Bamba

Now I'm not the kind of person
With a passionate persuasion for dancin' or romancin'
But I give in to the rhythm
And my feet follow the beatin' of my heart

Woh-ho-oh-oh, when my baby, when my baby smiles at me
I go to Rio De Janeiro, I'm a Salsa fellow
When my baby smiles at me the sun'll lighten up my life
And I am free at last, what a blast

Woh-ho-oh-oh, when my baby, when my baby smiles at me
I feel like Tarzan of the jungle
Here on the hot sand and in a bungalow
While monkeys play above, we make love

Now I'm not the type to let vibrations
Trigger my imagination easily
You know that's just not me
But I turn into a tiger every time
I get beside the one I love
Rio, I go to Rio
Rio De Janeiro
I go to Rio

Woh-ho-oh-oh, when my baby, when my baby smiles at me
I go to Rio De Janeiro, I'm a Salsa fellow
When my baby smiles at me
The sun'll lighten up my life
And I am free at last, what a blast

Rio De Janeiro
Rio, Rio
