(Patrick Simmons Jeffrey Baxter)

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
