Flying Down to Rio

An old sailor in old times would sing an old song
Rolling down to Rio by the sea

A young sailor in these times will sing a new song
Flying down to Rio, come with me

Where the lovely Brazilian ladies will catch your eye
With the light of a million stars in the evening sky

Oh, Rio, Rio by the sea, oh
Flying down to Rio

Where there's music and rhyme
Say, fella, twirl that old propeller
Flying down to Rio
And we've got to make time

You'll love it, soaring high above it
Looking down on Rio from the heavens above
Send a radio to Rio De Janeiro
With a big hello, just so they'll know
And stand by there, we'll fly there

Oh, Rio, everything will be okay
We're singing and winging our way to you

Oh, Rio, Rio by the sea, oh
Flying down to Rio
Where there's music and rhyme
Say, fella, twirl that old propeller
Flying down to Rio
And we've got to make time
You'll love it, soaring high above it
Looking down on Rio from the heavens above
Send a radio to Rio De Janeiro

With a big hello, just so they'll know
And stand by there, we'll fly there
Oh, Rio, everything will be okay
We're singing and winging our way to you

Oh, Rio
Oh, Rio
Rio by the sea, oh
