Moving on the floor, you're like a bird of paradise Cherry ice cream smile, I suppose it's very nice With a step to the left and a flick to the right You catch your mirror way out west But now you're something special and you look like you're the best Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand Just like that river twisting through the dusty land And when she shines she really shows you all she can Oh, Rio, Rio, dance across the Rio Grande Like a steppin' stone I've seen you on the beach and I've seen you on TV Two of a billion stars, it means so much to me Like a birthday or a pretty view But now I'm sure this fuckin' song is just for you Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand Just like that river twisting through the dusty land And when she shines she really shows you all she can Oh, Rio, Rio, dance across the Rio Grande Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand Like a river twists across the lonely land His name is Dio Ronny James Dio His name is Dio Ronny James Dio
