Moving on the floor now, babe
You're a bird of paradise
Cherry ice cream smile
I suppose it's very nice
With a step to your left and a flick to the right
You catch that mirror way out west
You know 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 a dusty land
And when she shines 
She really shows you all she can
Oh Rio, Rio, dance across the Rio Grande

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 then I'm sure that you know
It's just for you

Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twisting through a dusty land
And when she shines
She really shows you all she can
Oh Rio, Rio, dance across the Rio Grande

Hey now (woo) look at that
Did she nearly run you down
At the end of the drive the lawmen arrive
You make me feel alive, alive, alive
I'll take my chance
Cause luck is on my side, or something
I know what you're thinking
I tell you something
I know what you're thinking

Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twists across a 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, she don't need to understand
And I might find her
If I'm looking like I can
Oh Rio, Rio, hear them shout across the land
From mountains in the north
Down to the Rio Grande
Do do do…
