But it's something to do with the night
It's only a whimsical notion
To fly down to Rio to-night
And I probably won't fly down to Rio
But then again I just might

Using the music for flight
There's nothing I know of in Rio
But it's something to do with the night
It's only a whimsical notion
To fly down to Rio to-night
And I probably won't fly down to Rio
But then again I just might
