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 the mirror way out west
You know you’re something special and you look like you’re the best.
Her name is rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twisting through a dustly land
And when she shines she really shows you all she can
Oh rio rio dancer across the rio grande
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)
–
Hey now (wow), look at that.
Did he 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
I tell you something, i know what you’re thinking
I tell you something, i know what you’re thinking
(chorus)
Her name is rio and she don’t need to understand
And i might find her it 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
