  • All the birds of a feather
    Do what they love most of all
    We are the best at rhythm and laughter
    That's why we love carnival

    All so free we can sing to
    Sun and beaches, they call
    Dance to the music, passion and love
    Show us the best you can do

    Everyone here is on fire
    Get up and join in the fun
    Dance with a stranger, romance and danger
    Magic could happen for real in Rio

    All by itself (itself), you can't see it coming
    You can't find it anywhere else
    It's real in Rio, know something else (something else)
    You can feel it happen, you can feel it all by yourself

    All the birds of a feather
    Do what they love most of all
    Moon and the stars, strumming guitars
    That's why we love carnival

    Loving our life in the jungle
    Everything's wild and free
    Never alone 'cause this is our home
    Magic can happen for real in Rio
    All by itself (by itself), you can't see it coming
    You can't find it anywhere else

    I'm the capoeira kinga, kinga, kinga, kinga (kinga)
    Birds like me 'cause I'm a hot winga
    There's your hot winga

    Here everybody loves samba (I like the samba)
    Rhythm you feel in your heart (I'm the samba master)
    Beauty and love, what more could you want?
    Everything can be for real in Rio
    Here's something else (something else)
    You just feel it happening
    You won't find it anywhere else Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
