Oh, the cities of Brazil
How glad you make me feel
When not there, God knows where
I just cannot wait until
I can drive the avenidas
I can walk the alamedas
I just cannot wait until
I can come back to Brazil
Fly to Rio de Janeiro
Take a ride down to the beach
To the Praia do Flamengo
With its sand as white as bleach
Football at the Maracana
Samba at the Carnival
Party at Copacabana
Dreams about old Portugal
Oh, the beaches of Brazil
How glad you make me feel
When not there, God knows where
I just cannot wait until
I can drive the avenidas
I can walk the alamedas
I just cannot wait until
I can come back to Brazil
Take a flight to Sao Paulo
Take a ride down city streets
Down by the old favela
At the height of midday heat
Walk inside Ibirapuera
See the trees and modern art
Feel beneath your feet the terra
Alegria in your heart
Oh, the cities of Brazil
How glad you make me feel
When not there, God knows where
I just cannot wait until
I can drive the avenidas
I can walk the alamedas
I just cannot wait until
I can come back to Brazil
Get an order of fraldinha
Not a whisker more than rare
A refreshing caipirinha
As you sit in your beachwear
Take a trip into the jungle
Run your hand on ancient casca
Feel inside a primal hunger
Blow your mind with ayahuasca
Oh, the people of Brazil
How glad you make me feel
When not there, God knows where
I just cannot wait until
I can drive the avenidas
I can walk the alamedas
Just to be there, to be there
Just to be there in Brazil
