It's a quarter to seven on a Saturday morning
  I open my eyes after the Friday night
  I don't worry about the rain upon my window
  'Cos where I'm going I know the sun will always shine
  So now I'm heading away down to Rio de Janeiro
  I'll be leaving all my lonely times behind
  And if I'm looking for love in Rio de Janeiro
  There'll be someone there I know who'll find the time
  In this golden place, there's a smiling face
  I've got to find
  And I won't have to wait too long before she's mine
  My friends are telling me I'm chasing rainbows
  Or searching for the gold beneath the sea
  But rainbows only shine when it's been raining
  And gold can never keep you company
  So now I'm wondrin' what to say in conversation
  To the lady of my dreams that I should meet
  If I speak to her the language of all nations
  Then I'm sure that she'd be knocked right of her feet
  And I know she will, then I'll love her till
  The end of time
  And I won't have to wait too long before she's mine
  Well I've been happy enough in Rio de Janeiro
  I've got a woman here that I can call my own
  But it doesn't matter if I'm living here or there
  'Cos she used to live next door to me back home
  But if you're thinking that Ive settled down forever
  I'll be telling you you've made a big mistake
  'Cos I'll be heading away down to Denver, Colorado
  There's a woman there I've got to try and make
  She can fill the hole in my heart and soul
  For a long long time
  And know I won't have to wait too long before she's mine
