DOWN IN BRAZIL

Michael Franks


Down in Brazil
It takes a day to walk a mile
Time just stands still
And when the people you meet
Look at you, they smile
They still believe in style
They sooth you with their summers
Till you really know you're 
Down in old Brazil
You can tell you're down in old Brazil

Down in Brazil
They never heard of win or lose
If you can't feel
That all those cafe ole girls
In high heel shoes
Will really cure your blues
It seems they all just aim to please
Those women sway like wind
In the banana trees
Then you know you're
Down in old Brazil

-Instrumental Interlude-

Down in Brazil
They know a million ways to play
You start to feel
And when you're happy
It's the same as when you pray
You think you'll get away
Then you know you never will
Not when you've been
Down in old Brazil
Not when you are down in old Brazil

(Fade to End)
Down in old Brazil
Down in old Brazil
Down in old Brazil
Down in old Brazil
