An old sailor in old time sing an old song   Rolling down to Rio by the sea   A young sailor in these times would sing a new song   Flying down to Rio, come with me      Where the lovely Brazilian ladies   Will catch your ride   By the light of the million stars   In the evening sky      My Rio, Rio by the sea-o   Flying down to Rio where there's rhythm and rhyme   Hey feller, twirl that old propeller   Got to get to Rio and we've got to make time      You'll love it, soaring high above it   Looking down on Rio from a heaven of blue   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      You'll love it, soaring high above it   Looking down on Rio from a heaven of blue   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
