Real in Rio
[The Rio Singers] All the birds of a feather Do what they love most of all We are the best at rhythm and laughter That's why we love Carnival
Call so clear we can sing to Sun and nature's big moon Dance to the music, passion and love Show us the best you can do
Everyone here is on fire Get up and join in the fun Dance with a stranger, romance and danger
Magic could happen for real, in Rio All by itself (itself) You can't see it coming You can't find it anywhere else (anywhere else)
It's real, in Rio And know something else (something else) You can't feel it happening You can feel it all by yourself
*drumming*
[The Rio Singers] All the birds of a feather Do what we love most of all Moon and the stars, strumming guitars That's why we love Carnival
[Anne Hathaway] Loving our life in the jungle Everything's wild and free
[Jesse Eisenberg] Never alone 'cause this is our home
[Anne Hathaway and Jesse Eisenberg] Magic can happen for real, in Rio All by itself (by itself) You can't see it coming You can't find it anywhere else
[will.i.am] I'm 'da capoeira Kinga, kinga, kinga, kinga, kinga Birds like me 'cause I'm a hot winga Pedro-hot-winga
[Jamie Foxx] Here everybody loves samba (I like to samba)
[George Lopez] Rhythm you feel in your heart (I'm the samba master)
[Jamie Foxx] Beauty and love, what more could you want?
[The Rio Singers] Everything can be for real, in Rio Here's something else (something else) You just feel it happening You won't find it anywhere else
