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 such romance

Olay! Olay! The Wedding Samba
Will bring a pretty senorita 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 every one knows it's fiesta time
And joins in the samba around the happy pair
