Lyrics
Though I?d love to take you to Rio
I?m stuck in New Jersey to stay
But we still can have a Brazilian holiday.
And from a 200 page phrasebook
Sweet Portuguese things I will say
Yes I will, on our Brazilian holiday
Now we may not have the paella
With the seafood and veggies and rice
But if we go down to White Castle
They?ll fix us up something nice
We?ll swim in the Raritan River
Pretend it?s the Amazon basin
Let?s chill on our Brazilian holiday
Now we may not dance bossa novas
To the sound of acoustic guitars
But baby we still can go dancing
We just have to find a bar
And if you?re still sick of New Jersey
Then next time we?ll try Paraguay
Oh we will have a Brazilian holiday
Can?t sit still on our Brazilian holiday
What a thrill, it?s a Brazilian holiday
