When things get stale
You get on a boat and sail
To Rio
The beaches and the sea
That's where I long to be
In Rio

But I'm workin' for the man every day
Up in the city, got to get away
On a boat around the corner
And it's waiting there for you and me
In Rio

Dark eyed lady
Drive Mercedes everywhere
In Rio
She said, "Do you wanna take a ride?"
So I jumped right in beside her
In Rio

But I'm workin' for the man every day
Up in the city, got to get away
On a boat around the corner
And it's waiting there for you and me
In Rio
When things get stale
You get on a boat and sail
To Rio
The beaches and the sea
That's where I long to be
In Rio

But I'm workin' for the man every day
Up in the city, got to get away
On a boat around the corner
And it's waiting there for you and me
In Rio
