| Now you can come visit any time of year
|
| And the sun is shining and the skies are clear
|
| If you’re lookin for love you can find it here
|
| So give Diz a couple minutes up inside your ear
|
| I’m lookin for the light like a Jedi Knight
|
| So I’m headed for Brazil on a red-eyed flight
|
| Cause I gotta hit the festival (Tell em why) it’s set to go
|
| Four whole days at a very high decibel
|
| We’ll cut loose and dance in the streets
|
| All the way down to Copacabana Beach
|
| And when it’s all over recovery mode
|
| I’m out in Ipanema to relax and reload
|
| Cause I think we got a UD show tomorrow
|
| And I have to go to São Paulo — I know
|
| Andy’s at a soccer game, Rod’s in a speedo
|
| I’m not Michael Caine but I’ll Blame it on Rio
|
| You gotta go to Rio, go to Rio with me
|
| If you wanna carnival, carnival with me
|
| Cause you need to get away, get away with me
|
| And we’re gonna do it now, do it now with me
|
| If you gotta go to Rio, go to Rio with me
|
| If you wanna carnival, carnival with me
|
| Cause you need to get away, get away with me

|
| Come and do la cosa nostra
|
| And we’re gonna make it like presto
|
| Alakazaam, out with my man windjam on the catamaran
|
| It’s Rio de Janeiro, nail the map with a thumb tack
|
| And before you unpack you wish you could come back
|
| (Why?) Because the weather’s warm and toasty like an oven mitt
|
| And I’d be lyin if I said I wasn’t lovin it
|
| Watch the palm trees sway in the breeze
|
| Beautiful girls talking to me in Portuguese
|
| I do mas que nada, which means the minimum
|
| Sipping Brazilian coffee with a bit of cinnamon
|
| Do you find the daily grind is inescapable?
|
| Have a rest from the stress
|
| There’s no other place to go (bro) it’s the apex
|
| Talk to your boss and save up your paychecks
|
| We gotta
|
| Let’s go, let’s go
