| Artist | Ugly Duckling |
| Album | Taste the Secret |
| Now you can come visit any time of year | |
| And the sun is shinin and the skies are clear | |
| If you're lookin for love you can find it here | |
| So give Diz a couple minutes up inside your ear | |
| I'm lookin for the light like a Jedi Knight | |
| So I'm headed for Brazil on a red-eyed flight | |
| Cause I gotta hit the festival (Tell em why) it's set to go | |
| Four whole days at a very high decibel | |
| We cut loose and dance in the streets | |
| All the way down to Copacabana Beach | |
| And when it's all over recovery mode | |
| I'm out in Ipanema to relax and reload | |
| Cause I think we got a UD show tomorrow | |
| And I have to go to São Paulo - I know | |
| Andy's at a soccer game, Rod's in a speedo | |
| I'm not Michael Caine but I _Blame it on Rio_ | |
| [CHORUS] | |
| You gotta go to Rio, go to Rio with me | |
| If you wanna carnival, carnival with me | |
| Cause you need to get away, get away with me | |
| And we're gonna do it now, do it now with me | |
| If you gotta go to Rio, go to Rio with me | |
| If you wanna carnival, carnival with me | |
| Cause you need to get away, get away with me | |
| To | |
| (Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro) | |
| [VERSE 2] | |
| Get off the sofa, let's bossanova | |
| Come and do la cosa nostra | |
| And we're gonna make it like presto | |
| Alakazaam, out with my man windjam on the catamaran | |
| It's Rio de Janeiro, nail the map with a thumb tack | |
| And before you unpack you wish you could come back | |
| (Why?) Because the weather's warm and toasty like an oven mitt | |
| And I'd be lyin if I said I wasn't lovin it | |
| Watch the palm trees sway in the breeze | |
| Beautiful girls talkin to me in Portuguese | |
| I do [?] nada, which means the minimum | |
| Sippin Brazilian coffee with a bit of cinnamon | |
| Do you find the daily grind is inescapable? | |
| Have a rest from the stress [?] | |
| There's no other place to go (bro) it's the apex | |
| Talk to your boss and save up your paychecks | |
| We gotta | |
| Let's go, let's go | |
| Let's go, let's go | |
| Let's go, let's go | |
| We gotta go | |
| Let's go, let's go | |
| (Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro) | |

| You gotta go to Rio, go to Rio with me | |
| If you wanna carnival, carnival with me | |
| Cause you need to get away, get away with me | |
| And we're gonna do it now, do it now with me | |
| You gotta go to Rio, go to Rio with me | |
