Here I am, strolling down Atlantic Avenue

With the sunlight in my eyes

Here I am, and there's nothing I would rather do

When I want some peace of mind

I leave the smoke of Rio behind, as the evening starts to fly

I want to feel the ocean breeze, where the mountains kiss the sky



So come on, down Atlantic Avenue

Let the samba take a hold of you

'Cause I know there is no place like the Avenue

When the music gets a hold of you



Dive along to Ipanema there's always time to spare

Forget the troubles of the world, when they get to much to bear

Won't you please come on Atlantic Avenue



Flying down to Rio

Never thought I would be, walking by the ocean

here today, no

Pretty soon I've got to leave, but I know my heart will stay, ooh

Atlantic Avenue

Here I am strolling down Atlantic Avenue

Here I am, and there's nothing I would rather do

When I want some peace of mind

So come on, down Atlantic Avenue

Let the samba take a hold of you

Here I am strolling down Atlantic Avenue

Here I am, and there's nothing I would rather do

When I want some peace of mind

So come on, down Atlantic Avenue

Let the samba take a hold of you
