Rio (Carnival Version)

[Verse 1]

Moving on the floor now babe you're a bird of paradise

Cherry ice cream, smile I suppose it's very nice

With a step to your left

And a flick to the right you catch that mirror way out west

You know you're something special and you look like you're the best

[Chorus]

Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand

Just like that river twisting through a dusty land

And when she shines she really shows you all she can

Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande

[Verse 2]

I've seen you on the beach and I've seen you on TV

Two of a billion stars it means so much to me

Like a birthday or a pretty view

But then I'm sure that you know it's just for you

[Chorus]

Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand

Just like that river twisting through a dusty land

And when she shines she really shows you all she can

Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande

[Bridge]

Hey now woo look at that did she nearly run you down

At the end of the drive the lawmen arrive

You make me feel alive, alive, alive

I'll take my chance, cause luck is on my side or something

I know what you're thinking

I tell you something, I know what you're thinking

[Chorus]

Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand

Just like that river twists across a dusty land

And when she shines she really shows you all she can

Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande

Her name is Rio she don't need to understand

And I might find her if I'm looking like I can

Oh Rio, Rio hear them shout across the land

From mountains in the north down to the Rio Grande
