Lyrics

"I Go To Rio"

When my baby
When my baby smiles at me, I go to Rio
De Janeiro, my-oh-me-oh
I go wild and then I have to do the Samba
And La Bamba

Now I'm not the kind of person
With a passionate persuasion for dancin'
Or romancin'
But I give in to the rhythm
And my feet follow the beatin' of my heart

Whoa-oh, when my baby
When my baby smiles at me I go to Rio
De Janeiro
I'm a Salsa fellow
When my baby smiles at me
The sun'll lightens up my life
And I am free at last, what a blast

Whoa-oh, when my baby
When my baby smiles at me
I feel like Tarzan of the Jungle
There on the hot sand
And in a bungalow while monkeys play above
We make love

Now I'm not the type to let vibrations (Rio)
Trigger my imagination easily (Rio)
You know that's just not me
But I turn into a tiger (Rio)
Every time I get beside the one I love (Rio)

Whoa-oh, whoa, whoa
Rio, Rio
Yeah, uh
(Uh) Rio, uh

Whoa-oh, when my baby (when my baby)
When my baby smiles at me I go to Rio (Rio)
De Janeiro
I'm a Salsa fellow
When my baby smiles at me
The sun'll lightens up my life
And I am free at last, what a blast
When my baby (when my baby)
When my baby smiles at me I go to Rio (Rio)
That's when I go to Rio (Rio)
Rio, Rio De Janeiro

Rio De Janeiro
Rio De Janeiro
Rio De Janeiro
Rio De Janeiro

I Still Call Australia Home

[Verse 1]
I've been to cities that never close down
From New York to Rio and old London town
But no matter how far or how wide I roam
I still call Australia home

[Verse 2]
I'm always travelling, I love being free
And so I keep leaving the sun and the sea
But my heart lies waiting over the foam
I still call Australia home

[Verse 3]
All the sons and daughters spinning 'round the world
Away from their family and friends
But as the world gets older and colder
It's good to know where your journey ends

[Verse 4]
But someday, we'll all be together once more
When all of the ships come back to the shore
Then I realise something I've always known
I still call Australia home

[Chorus]
(But no matter how far or wide I roam)
I still call Australia
I still call Australia
I still call Australia home
