When my baby, when my baby smiles at me I go to Rio De Janeiro, my-oh-me-oh I go wild and then I have to 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
Oho, 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 lightens up my life And I am free at last, what a blast!
Oho, when my baby, when my baby smiles at me I feel like Tarzan, of the jungle There on the hot sand and in a bungalo while monkeys play above-a We make love
Now I'm not the type to let vibrations (Rio) Trigger my imagination easily (Rio), you know that's just not me But I turn into a tiger (Rio) Everytime I get beside the one I love (Rio)
Oh, oh, oho! (Rio) (Rio)
Yeah Oooh! (Rio) Oooh!
Oho, when my baby (When my baby), when my baby smiles at me I go to Rio (Rio) De Janeiro, I'm a salsa fellow When my baby smiles at me The sun'll lightens up my life and I am free at last, what a blast
When my baby (When my baby) When my baby smiles at me I go to Rio (Rio) That's when I go to Rio (Rio) Rio, Rio De Janeiro
(Rio) (Rio) (Rio)
