Caetano Veloso - The Carioca lyrics

<b>The Carioca</b> by <i>Caetano Veloso</i><br />Say, have you seen the carioca?

It's not a foxtrot or a polka

It has a little bit of new rhythm

A blue rhtthm that sights

It has a meter that is tricky

A bit of wicked wacky-wicky

But when you dance it with a new love

There's a true love in her eyes

You dream of a new Carioca

It's theme is a kiss and a sight

You dream of a new carioca

When music and lights are gone and we're saying goodbye

Two heads together, they say are better than one

Two heads together, that's how the dance's begun

Two arms around you and lips that sigh

I'm yours anda you're mine

While the carioca carries you away

While we carica till the break of day

Now that you've done the carioca

You'll never care to do the polka

And then you'll realize the blue hula anda bamboola are

through

Tomorrow morning you"ll discover

You're just a carioca lover

And when you dance it with a new love

There'll be true love just for you

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

When music lights are gone and we're saying goodbye

When music lights are gone and we're saying goodbye
