(clarinet intro)
-
Excuse me, I couldn't resist, I love this song!
-
- Do you know how to dance the carioca?
- No
-
It's not a fox-trot or a polka
-
It's really not complicated,
-
to get it, follow my steps.
-
It's not a tango or a cha-cha
-
even less a bossa nova...
-
When you've tasted this dance, then you can't do any other!
-
Woopie! Let's dance the carioca!
-
It's good, do as I'm doing
-
Woopie! With the carioca...
-
too bad if you have to tell other dances "goodbye"
-
(Do you need anything Simon?
-
Yes, get me some clean towels and hot water!
-
- Anything else?
-
- Yes, pork gum, I'm hungry. Quick, quick!)
-
Now that you're dancing the carioca...
-
now you don't care about polka!
-
You don't want to hear about rumba, hula-hoop, and cha-cha.
-
Every morning since you get up...
-
carioca makes you move...
-
and when you dance, every little step makes you happy for the day...
-
Woopie! Let's dance the carioca!
-
It's good, do as I'm doing
-
Woopie! With the carioca
-
- (Listen, I think I did everything I could
-
I did the maximum, now, at this level,
-
I think we can say God be with us, and... and go.
-
- The film, did you put it in?
- What?
-
(trombone solo)
-
Woopie! Let's dance the carioca
-
It's good, do as I'm doing...
-
Oh yeah woopie! Let's dance the carioca
-
too bad if we have to tell everyone "goodbye"...
-
(crowd: "one more! one more!")
-
I don't like when it's improvised like that...
-
But you know, with a good agent, in three months, we go on tour!
-
- Inspector Viales...
- Yes, it's for...?
-
- Grimaldi
- "Gri-mal-di"...
