The Wedding Samba Songtext
von Carmen Miranda

Way down in the land of the Rio Grande
When people are married, they always have a dance
The music is grand with a samba band
The people are carried away with such romance

Olé, olé, the wedding samba
Will bring a timid senorita to her feet
And when they play the wedding samba
She′ll say "I do" and seal it with a samba beat

So that's how it goes in fiesta time
The beat of a samba is always in the air
And everyone knows it′s fiesta time
And joins in the samba around the happy pair

Way down in the land of the Rio Grande
When people are married, they always have a dance
The music is grand with a samba band
The people are carried away with such romance


Olé, olé (olé, olé) the wedding samba (samba)
Will bring a timid señorita to her feet (olé)
And when they play (and when they play) the wedding samba (samba)
She'll say "I do" and seal it with a samba beat

So that's how it goes in fiesta time
The beat of a samba is always in the air
And everyone knows it′s fiesta time
And joins in the samba around the happy pair

Olé, olé, the wedding samba
Will bring a timid señorita to her feet
And when they play the wedding samba
She′ll say "I do" and seal it with a samba beat

So that's how it goes in fiesta time
The beat of a samba is always in the air
And everyone knows it′s fiesta time
And joins in the samba around the happy pair

Around the happy pair
Around the happy pair (go dance around the happy pair)
