Christmas In Rio

from Starmakers by Joshua Starmer

lyrics

It’s Christmas time in Rio,
While the sun shines down on Rio

Papai Noel
He’s the surfing the waves
He’s got his speedo on, and he’s got his shades

He shaved his beard last week
‘Cause it’s just too warm
This is the mid-summer heat
Not a midwinter storm.

We got people singing Noite Feliz
We just finished plugging in our electrical tree

It’s Christmas time in Rio,
While the sun shines down on Rio

When he’s not hanging dez
Papai’s in Greenland
Fezzik’s employed making
presents by hand

Check out the presépio
It’s bad to the bone
You’ve got your amigo secreto
So you’re never alone

We just finished Os Pastores, oh the gall
I still can’t believe that the gypsy ran off with the doll

It’s Christmas time in Rio,
While the sun shines down on Rio

Bom Velhinho
He’s trying to keep cool
Sipping on his cachaça
Right next to the pool

The street’s lined with orchids
There’s no mistletoe
When the clock strikes doze
To chapel we’ll go

The missa do galo was crazy it lasted all night
Let’s eat a feijoada til we see the morning light

It’s Christmas time in Rio,
While the sun shines down on Rio
