Venezuela (Edit) May 22/11 Karl Rigelhof

I was in Caracas
Taking in some sun and some sand
You were shakin' them maracas
And singing in a latino band

And you said to me
As you took me by the hand
I'll show you a mystery
And why they call this a magical land

CHORUS:
Come down to Venezuela
Where they dance and swing and sway
To that joropo beat
To sounds oh so sweet
You just have to move your feet
Down in Venezuela

I was sippin' a cerveza
And I couldn't help thinking about you
My hot passionate lover
And the crazy times I remember

Through the thunder and lightning
We moved to the rumbling rhythm
And the band played music so enticing
We kissed as though it never ends

CHORUS:
Come down to Venezuela
Where they dance and swing and sway
To that joropo beat
To sounds oh so sweet

And during the storm
We danced the night away
Until the early dawn
I awoke to a note and here's what it said

CHORUS:
Come down to Venezuela
Where they dance and swing and sway
To that joropo beat
To sounds oh so sweet
You just have to move your feet
Down in Venezuela
