A Rainy Night In Rio - The Andrews Sisters

Whadda they do on a rainy night in Rio?

Whadda they do when there is no starry sky?

Where do they go when they can’t go for a walk?

Do they sit at home and talk

Or do they sit and sigh, «Aye Aye!»?

Where do they woo on a rainy night in Rio?

How can a guy meet a sweetheart by the sea?

Maybe the girl wants a tender kiss, and yet

How tender can you get

When you’re beneath a wet palm tree?

Whadda they do in Mississippi

When skies are drippy?

And whadda they do when it’s murky

In Alberquerque?

And whadda they do in Old Arkoona

When the moon above ain’t bright?

Well, that’s what they do in Rio

On a rainy night!

But whadda they do when skies are dreary

Along Lake erie?

And whadda they do in St Louis

When nights are dewy?

And whadda they do in Colorado

When a shadow dims the light?

Well, that’s what they do in Rio

On a rainy night!

(scat)

Yes, that’s what they do in Rio

On a rainy night!
