Here I am, strolling down Atlantic Avenue, with the sunlight in my eyes,
Here I am, and there's nothing I would rather do,
When I want some peace of mind!

Oh---, I leave the smoke of Rio behind, as evening starts to fly,
I want to feel the ocean breeze,

So, come on, down Atlantic Avenue, let the samba take a hold of you,
'Cause, I know, there is no place like the Avenue,
When that music gets a hold of you!

Woh - oh, drive along to Ipanema there's always time to spare,
Forget the troubles of the world, when they get to much to bare---!
Oh - oh, woh - oh, oh - oh!

Flying down to Rio, never thought I would be,
Walking by the ocean, here today, no,
Pretty soon I've got to leave, but I know my heart will stay----!
Woh -oh, oh---, oh, oh

So, come on, down Atlantic Avenue, let the samba take a hold of you,
'Cause I know woo, there is no place like the Avenue,
When that music gets a hold of you!
