Fred Astaire

The Carioca
Say, have you seen a Carioca?It's not a foxtrot or a polkaIt has a little bit of new rhythm, a blue rhythm that sighsIt has a meter that is trickyA bit of wicked wacky-wickyBut when you dance it with a new love, there's a true love in her eyeYou dream of a new CariocaIts theme is a kiss and a sighYou dream of a new CariocaWhen music and lights are gone we say goodbyeTwo heads together, they say are better than oneTwo heads together, that's how the dance is begunTwo arms around you and lips, that's why I'm yours and you are mineAnd you are mineNow that you've done the CariocaYou'll never care to do the PolkaAnd then you'll realize the blue hula and bamboola are throughTomorrow morning you'll discoverYou're just a Carioca loverAnd when you dance it with each new love, there'll be true love just for youSongtexteNow you'll dream of a new CariocaIts theme is a kiss and a sighYou'll dream of a new CariocaWhen music and lights are gone and we're saying goodbyeGoodbye Aus Songtexte Mania
