Moving on the floor now babe you´re a bird of paradise
Cherry ice cream smile I suppose it´s very nice
With a step to your left and a flick to the right
You catch that mirror way out west
You know you´re something special
And you look like you´re the best

Her name is rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twisting through a dusty land
And when she shines she really shows you all she can
Oh rio rio dance across the rio grande

I´ve seen you on the beach and I´ve seen you on tv
Two of a billion stars it means so much to me
Like a birthday or a pretty view
But then I´m sure that you know it´s just for you

Hey now look at that did he nearly run you down
at the end of the drive the lawmen arrive you make me feel
Alive, alive, alive

I´ll take my chance cause luck is on my side
I tell you something I know what you´re thinking
I tell you something I know what you´re thinking

Her name is rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twists across a dusty land
And when she shines she really shows you all she can
Oh rio rio dance across the rio grande

Her name is rio she don´t need to understand
I might find her if I´m looking like I can
Oh rio rio hear them shout across the land
From mountains in the north down to the rio grande
