Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Yellow sun on painted tiles Stretching out for miles and miles Frangipani in the breeze Whispering through palm tree leaves I was reading in the shade Hiding from the grand parade In my dress of crisp white lace Finding such a quiet space [Chorus] Then the mango juice came down Splashing on my Sunday gown Golden nectar, sticky sweet Right there on that Rio street You were clumsy, you were shy With a twinkle in your eye Now my linen wears a stain But I’m glad it didn’t rain [Post-Chorus] Shoo-be-doo, a golden hue All because I ran into you Shoo-be-doo, a messy start Straight into my heavy heart [Verse] You were holding silver trays Lost inside a summer haze When the glass began to tilt Past the point of any guilt I looked down and saw the spot Thinking ‘well, why surely not’ But your face was turning red Like the sunset overhead [Chorus] Then the mango juice came down Splashing on my Sunday gown Golden nectar, sticky sweet Right there on that Rio street You were clumsy, you were shy With a twinkle in your eye Now my linen wears a stain But I’m glad it didn’t rain [Bridge] Lime and sugar, ice and glass Watching all the dancers pass Caipirinhas for the pair Magic hanging in the air We forgot the ruined thread Talked of poetry instead By the time the moon was high I forgot to say goodbye [Hook] Da-ba-da, the fruit was ripe Not exactly my usual type Scoo-be-do, the fabric tore But I wanted so much more [Verse] Sixty-four was quite a year Holding all these memories dear One small slip upon the floor Opened up a brand new door Now we sit and laugh a lot At the little yellow dot Framed inside a memory Of the way you looked at me [Chorus] Then the mango juice came down Splashing on my Sunday gown Golden nectar, sticky sweet Right there on that Rio street You were clumsy, you were shy With a twinkle in your eye Now my linen wears a stain But I’m glad it didn’t rain [Post-Chorus] Shoo-be-doo, a golden hue All because I ran into you Shoo-be-doo, a messy start Straight into my heavy heart [Outro]
