Lyrics
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, mm
I leave the smoke of Rio behind, and 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
Drive along to Ipanema, there's always time to spare
I wanna be on the ocean beach, when it gets too much to bear, oh-oh, ooh
Won't you please come on down Atlantic Avenue? La la la, la la la la
Flying down to Rio
Never thought I would be walking by the ocean
Here today
Pretty soon I've got to leave, but I know my heart will stay
Here I am strolling down Atlantic Avenue
With the sunlight in my eyes (sunlight in my eyes)
Here I am and there's nothing I would rather do
When I want some peace of mind, I want some peace of mind
Come on, down Atlantic Avenue
Let the samba take a hold of you
'Cause I know there is no place like the Avenue
When that sound a-gets a hold of you, whoa, ha, ha
