Lyrics

Down in Brazil It takes a day to walk a mile Time just stand still And when the people you meet look at you they smile They still believe in style They serve you with their sambas 'til You really know you're down in ol' Brazil You can tell you're down in ol' Brazil Down in Brazil They've never heard of win or lose If you can't feel Then all those cafe ole girls in high heel shoes Will really cure your blues It seems they all just aim to please Those women sway like wind in my banana trees Then you know you're down in ol' Brazil Down in Brazil They know a million ways to play You start to feel And when you're happy It's the same as when you pray You'd think you get away Then you know you never will Now when you've been down in ol' Brazil Now when you are down in ol' Brazil Down in ol' Brazil Down in ol' Brazil Down in ol' Brazil Down in ol' Brazil
