I said, "Take it easy baby I worked all day
And my feet feel just like lead
You got my shirt tail flyin' all over the place
And the sweat poppin' out of my head."
She said, "Hey bossa nova baby keep on workin'
For this ain't no time to quit."
She said, "Go bossa nova baby keep on dancin'
I'm about to have myself a fit." Yeah
Bossa nova, Bossa nova
I said "Hey little mama, let's sit down
Have a drink and dig the band."
She said "Drink, drink, drink, oh fiddle-de-dink
I can dance with a drink in my hand."
She said, "Hey bossa nova baby keep on workin'
For this ain't no time to drink."
She said, "Go bossa nova baby keep on dancin'
'Cos I ain't got time to think."
Bossa nova, Bossa nova
I said, "Come on baby it's hot in here
And it's oh so cool outside
If you lend me a dollar I can buy some gas
And we can go for a little ride."
She said, "Hey bossa nova baby keep on workin'
For I ain't got time for that."
She said, "Go bossa nova baby keep on dancin'
Or I'll find myself another cat."
Bossa nova, Bossa nova, yeah
Bossa nova, Bossa nova
Bossa nova, Bossa nova
