Carnival
Roger Whittaker · Moments In My Life [2005]
I'm dancing down the street.
I'm gonna have a ball tonight.
My baby by my side,
her arms are open wide.
We're gonna have it all tonight.
Go carnival, hey carnival.
Everybody laughing,
everybody's grooved free,
everybody's singing,
just as carnival should be.
All the music playing
and it plays for you and me.
It' time for carnival,
it's time for carnival.
The party's going on
and we where going strong,
because it's carnival tonight.
The band is playing loud,
there 's a cheering crowd,
because it's carnival tonight.
Hey carnival, go carnival.
Everybody dancing,
everybody's moved free,
everybody's swinging,
just as carnival should be.
All the music playing
and it plays for you and me.
It' time for carnival,
it's time for carnival.
Clap hands and steep your feet.
We're dancing down the street.
We're gonna have a ball tonight.
Batucada. . .
Clap hands and steep your feet.
We're dancing down the street.
We're gonna have a ball tonight.
Clap hands and steep your feet.
We're dancing down the street.
We're gonna have a ball tonight.
Clap hands and steep your feet.
We're dancing down the street.
We're gonna have a ball tonight.
Common and steep your feet
We're dancing down the street.
We're gonna have a ball tonight.
My baby by my side,
her arms are open wide.
We're gonna have it all tonight.
Clap hands and steep your feet.
We're dancing down the street.
We're gonna have a ball tonight.
My baby by my side,
her arms are open wide.
We're gonna have a ball tonight.
My baby by my side,
her arms are open wide.
We're gonna have it all tonight.
Belesa!
