It's a quarter to seven on a Saturday morning 
I open my eyes after the Friday night - 
I don't worry about the rain upon my window 
'Cos where I'm going I know the sun will always shine 
So now I'm heading away down to Rio de Janeiro 
I'll be leaving all my lonely times behind - 
And if I'm looking for love in Rio de Janeiro 
There'll be someone there I know who'll find the time 
In this golden -place, there's a smiling face 
I've got to find 
And I won't have to wait too long before she's mine 


My friends are telling me I'm chasing rainbows 
Or searching for the gold beneath the sea - 
But rainbows only shine when it's been raining 
And gold can never keep you company - 
So now I'm wondrin' what to say in conversation 
To the lady of my dreams that I should meet - 
If I speak to her in the language of all nations 
Then I'm sure that she'd be knocked right off her feet - 
And I know she will, then I'll love her till 
The end of time - 
And I won't have to wait too long before she's mine 


Well I've been happy enough in Rio de Janeiro 
I've got a woman here that I can call my own - 
But it doesn't matter if I'm living here or there 
'Cos she used to live next door to me back home - 
But if you're thinking that I've settled down forever 
I'll be telling you you've made a big mistake - 
'Cos I'll be heading away down to Denver, Colorado 
There's a woman there I've got to try and make - 
She can fill the hole in my heart and soul 
For a long, long time - 
And know I won't have to wait too long before she's mine
