CARIOCA
A Mickey McBride Arrangement
SAY! HAVE YOU SEEN THE CARIOCA?
IT’S NOT A FOX TROT OR A POLKA,
IT HAS A LITTLE BIT OF NEW RHYTHM,
A BLUE RHYTHM THAT SIGHS,
IT HAS A METRE THAT IS TRICKY,
A BIT OF WICKED, WACKY WICKY,
BUT THEN YOU DANCE IT WITH A NEW LOVE,
THERE’LL BE TRUE LOVE IN HER EYES,
YOU’LL DREAM OF THE NEW CARIOCA,
IT’S THEME IS A KISS AND A SIGH,
YOU’LL DREAM OF THE NEW CARIOCA,
WHEN MUSIC AND LIGHTS ARE GONE AND WE’RE SAYING GOODBYE,
(Musical Interlude)
TWO HEADS TOGETHER, THEY SAY, ARE BETTER THAN ONE,
TWO HEADS TOGETHER, THAT’S HOW THE DANCE IS BEGUN,
TWO ARMS AROUND YOU AND LIPS THAT SIGH
“I AM YOURS AND YOU ARE MINE,”
WHILE THE CARIOCA CARRIES YOU AWAY,
MINE, WHILE WE CARIOCA TO THE BREAK OF DAY
AND YOU ARE MINE,
(Musical Interlude)
TWO HEADS TOGETHER, THEY SAY, ARE BETTER THAN ONE,
TWO HEADS TOGETHER, THAT’S HOW THE DANCE IS BEGUN,
TWO ARMS AROUND YOU AND LIPS THAT SIGH
“I AM YOURS AND YOU ARE MINE,”
WHILE THE CARIOCA CARRIES YOU AWAY,
MINE, WHILE WE CARIOCA TO THE BREAK OF DAY
AND YOU ARE MINE,
NOW THAT YOU’VE DONE THE CARIOCA,
YOU’LL NEVER CARE TO DO THE POLKA,
AND THEN YOU REALIZE THE BLUE
HULA AND BAMBOOLA ARE THROUGH,
TOMORROW MORNING, YOU’LL DISCOVER,
YOU’RE JUST A CARIOCA LOVER,
AND WHEN YOU DANCE IT WITH EACH NEW LOVE,
THERE’LL BE TRUE LOVE JUST FOR YOU,
YOU’LL DREAM OF THE NEW CARIOCA,
IT’S THEME IS A KISS AND A SIGH,
YOU’LL DREAM OF THE NEW CARIOCA,
WHEN MUSIC AND LIGHTS ARE GONE AND WE’RE SAYING GOODBYE.
