I go to Rio  (KDM 137)  Chris Froggatt (Peter Allen) 1976

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK

Circle Left

Oh, when my baby, when my baby smiles at me, I go to Rio

De Janeiro… Left Allemande now

DoSaDo, the Men Star Left inside the ring go

One time around now…

Why don’t you Turn your Partner by the Right, to the corner, Allemande

And then you Swing there, Promenade the square

I give into the rhythm

My feet follow the beating of my heart  

FIGURE

Heads Promenade you travel Halfway, around the ring

Walk in, you Square Thru go 4 hands now, inside the ring go

All the way round, and then you DoSaDo that lady

Make a Wave and the Ladies Trade, Recycle now

Veer Left and the Couples Circulate

Half Tag, Swing now, Promenade the town

I give in to the rhythm

And my feet follow the beating of my heart  

CLOSER

Circle Left

When my baby, when my baby smiles at me, I feel like Tarzan

Of the jungle… Left Allemande now

DoSaDo, the Men Star Left inside the ring go

One time around now…

Why don’t you Turn your Partner by the Right, to the corner, Allemande

And then you Swing there, Promenade the square

I give into the rhythm

My feet follow the beating of my heart  

TAG

Swing her, Oh, when my baby, when my baby smiles at me, I go to Rio

ORIGINAL LYRICS

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 roma-ancin'
But I give in to the rhythm
And my feet follow the beatin' of my hear-eart

 

Woh-ho-oh-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 li-ife
And I am free at last, what a blast

 

Woh-ho-oh-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-a
We-ee make love-a
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)
Everytime I get beside the - one I love (Rio)
Woh, oh, woh, woh-oh, Rio - Rio
Yeah Ugh - Rio – Ugh

 

Woh-ho-oh-oh, when my ba-a-aby (when my baby)
When my baby smiles at me I go to Rio (Rio)
De Janeiro
I'm a Salsa fellow-ow
When my baby smiles at me
The sun'll lightens you-up my li-ife
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 Janeir-eiro
Rio, Rio, Rio
