  25921>Say, have you seen a Carioca?
  It's not a foxtrot or a polka
  It has a little bit of new rhythm, a blue rhythm that sighs
 
 
  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 eye
 
 
  You dream of a new Carioca
  Its theme is a kiss and a sigh
  You 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 is begun
  Two arms around you and lips, that's why I'm yours and you are mine
  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 bamboola 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
