I said take it easy baby
I worked all day and my feet feel just like lead
You got my shirt tails
Flying all over the place
And the sweat poppin' out of my head
She said: Go 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
Bossa nova, bossa nova

I said: Hey little mama
Let's sit down and
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 working child
This ain't no time to drink
She said: Go bossa nova baby
Keep on dancin'
'Cause I ain't got the 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 working child
I ain't got the time for that
She said: Go bossa nova baby
Keep on dancin'
Or I'll find myself another cat

Bossa nova, bossa nova
Bossa nova, bossa nova
