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 band
The people are carried
Away with a such romance
Olay! olay! The wedding samba
Will bring a pretty señorita 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
In fiesta time
The beat of a samba
Is always in the air
And everyone knows
It's fiesta time
And joins in the samba
Around the happy pair
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 band
The people are carried
Away with a such romance
Olay! olay! (Olay! olay) The wedding samba (samba)
Will bring a pretty señorita to her feet (olay!)
And when they play (and when they play)
The wedding samba (samba)
She'll say "I do" and seal it with a samba beat
So that's how it goes
In fiesta time
The beat of a samba
Is always in the air
And everyone knows
It's fiesta time
And joins in the samba
Around the happy pair
Olay! olay! The wedding samba
Will bring a timid señorita 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
In fiesta time
The beat of a samba
Is always in the air
And everyone knows
It's fiesta time
And joins in the samba
Around the happy pair
Around the happy pair
Around the happy pair
It's around the happy pair
