[Verse 1]
Down in Rio were they never had a dime
Out the gardens were they came to party time
There's the fever there, we got the carnival
Everybody does it all
When we're dancin' we don't think of yesterday
No tomorrow when we carry on this way
Happy feelings are the only things we wear
And nobody really cares
[Chorus]
Welcome to the carnival
Come feel what love is
Wild lights turning in the sky
And burnin' up the carnival
[Verse 2]
When we're dancin' we don't think of yesterday
No tomorrow when we carry on this way
Happy feelings are the only things we wear
And nobody really cares
You can find me in the madness in the street
You can find me where the wine is flowing sweet
I can take you where you never thought you'd go
And nobody has to know
[Chorus 3x]
Welcome to the carnival
Come feel what love is
Wild lights turning in the sky
And burnin' up the carnival
