Here I am, strolling down Atlantic Avenue 
With the sunlight in my eyes 
Here I am, and there's nothing I would rather do 
When I want some peace of mind 
I leave the smoke of Rio behind, as the evening starts to fly 
I want to feel the ocean breeze, where the mountains kiss the sky 

So come on, down Atlantic Avenue 
Let the samba take a hold of you 
'Cause I know there is no place like the Avenue 
When the music gets a hold of you 

Dive along to Ipanema there's always time to spare 
Forget the troubles of the world, when they get to much to bear 
Won't you please come on Atlantic Avenue 

Flying down to Rio 
Never thought I would be, walking by the ocean 
here today, no 
Pretty soon I've got to leave, but I know my heart will stay, ooh 
Atlantic Avenue 
Here I am strolling down Atlantic Avenue 
Here I am, and there's nothing I would rather do 
When I want some peace of mind 
So come on, down Atlantic Avenue 
Let the samba take a hold of you 
Here I am strolling down Atlantic Avenue 
Here I am, and there's nothing I would rather do 
When I want some peace of mind 
So come on, down Atlantic Avenue 
Let the samba take a hold of you
