Way down in the land of the Rio Grande
When people get married they always have a dance
The music is grand with a samba dance
The people are carried away with such romance
    
Olay! Olay! The Wedding Samba
Will bring a tiny 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 since fiesta time
The beat of a samba is always in the air
And ev'ry one knows it's fiesta time
And joins in the samba around the happy pair

The beat of a samba is always in the air
And ev'ry one knows it's fiesta time
