[Verse 1]

I'm hearing the light from the window

I'm seeing the sound of the sea

My feet have come loose from their moorings

I'm feeling quite wonderfully free

[Chorus]

And I think I will travel to Rio

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 tonight

And I probably won't fly down to Rio

But then again, I just might

[Verse 2]

There's wings to the thought behind fancy

There's wings to the thought behind play

And dancing to rhythms of laughter

Makes laughter the rhythm of rain

[Chorus]

And I think I will travel to Rio

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 tonight

And I probably won't fly down to Rio

But then again, I just might

[Interlude, Spoken]

"This is the first call for Flight 77 to Rio de Janeiro, now boarding at Gate 17. This is the first call."

[Verse 3]

I feel such a sense of well-being

The problems have come to be solved

And what I thought was proper for battle

I see now is proper for love

[Chorus]

And I think I will travel to Rio

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 tonight

And I probably won't fly down to Rio

But then again, I just might

[Chorus]

I think I will travel to Rio

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 tonight

I probably won't fly down to Rio

But then again, I just might

[Outro, Spoken]

"Reno? Why Reno?"

"Not Reno, dummy. Rio, Rio de Janeiro"
