Doppelgänger in Rio

Verse 1
I met a lovely lady from São Paulo
We took ourselves a flight down to old Rio
Copacabana, with the sun in our eyes
Sipping Caipirinhas in a seaside bar
Looking for amazement and we didn’t look far
I saw an old friend, as he walked by

Chorus 1
Did I see a doppelgänger in Rio?
Or was it merely all in my mind
Was I feeling the effects of Cachaca
I know it has me feeling fine
Sugarcane Rum baby
Will do it every time
In Rio

Verse 2
He was walking really fast as I turned his way
I shouted out his name but he kept his pace
I was sure it was my old friend Dave
I turned to my lady excitedly
Her eyes got big; she was happy for me
She said let’s go, and we gave chase

Chorus 2
Did I see a doppelgänger in Rio?
Was I thinking of those left behind?
Should I focus on pleasing my lady
And drinking some Brazilian wine
Come a little closer baby
It sends me every time

Bridge
We spent a little time atop the Sugar Loaf
Standing inside the clouds
We saw Christ the Redeemer standing all alone
I pray he knows who I am
I sang out loud to meu amor
How ‘bout another glass of rum
After all, it’s Rio

Chorus 3
Did I see a doppelgänger in Rio?
Or was it merely all in my mind
Was I feeling the effects of Cachaca
I know it has me feeling fine
Sugarcane Rum baby
Will do it every time
In Rio
