Carioca Songtext
von Connee Boswell

Say, have you seen the Carioca?
It′s not a foxtrot or a polka
It has a little bit of new rhythm
A blue rhythm that's fine
It has a meter that is tricky
A bit of wickie-wackie-wickie
But when you dance it with a new love
There′s a true love in her eyes

You'll dream of a new Carioca
Its theme is a kiss and a sigh
You'll dream of a new Carioca
When music and lights are gone, we say goodbye


Two heads together
They say are better than one
Two heads together
That′s how the dance has begun
Two arms around you
And lips that sigh
"I′m yours and you are mine"
"I'm yours and you are mine"

Now that you′ve done the Carioca
You'll never care to do the polka
And then you′ll realize the blue hula
And bamboo love 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

Now you'll dream of a new Carioca
Its theme is a kiss and a sigh
You′ll dream of a new Carioca
When music and lights are gone, and we′re saying goodbye

Goodbye
