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

Woah, 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

Woah, when my baby, when my baby smiles at me
I feel like Tarzan, of the jungle
There on the hot sand
And in a bungalow while monkeys play above, we make love

Now, I'm not the type to let vibrations
Trigger my imagination easily
You know that's just not me
But I turn into a tiger
Every time I get beside the one I love
Woah, woah, woah, Rio, Rio, Rio

Woah, 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

When my baby, when my baby smiles at me
I go to Rio, that's when I go to Rio
Rio, Rio De Janeiro
Rio, Rio, Rio
