Rio Lyrics - Takin' It To The Streets - The Doobie Brothers

Patrick Simmons / Jeffrey Baxter 

When things get stale 

You get on a boat and sail to Rio 

The beaches and the sea 

That's where I long to be 

In Rio 

But I'm workin' for the man every day up in the city 

Got to get away on a boat around the corner 

And it's waiting there for you and me 

In Rio

Dark eyed lady 

Drive Mercedes everywhere 

In Rio 

She said, "Do you wanna take a ride?" 

So I jumped right in beside her 

In Rio 

But I'm workin' for the man every day up in the city 

Got to get away on a boat around the corner 

And it's waiting there for you and me 

In Rio 

When things get stale 

You get on a boat and sail to Rio 

The beaches and the sea 

That's where I long to be 

In Rio

But I'm workin' for the man every day up in the city 

Got to get away on a boat around the corner 

And it's waiting there for you and me 

In Rio
