Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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 popping out of my head
[Verse 2]
She said, hey, bossa nova baby, keep on working
For this ain't no time to quit
She said, go, bossa nova baby, keep on dancing
I'm about to have myself a fit
[Verse 3]
Bossa nova, bossa nova
[Verse 4]
I said, hey, little mama, let's sit down
Have a drink and dig the band
She said, drink, drink, drink, oh, fiddle-lee-dink
I can dance with a drink in my hand
[Verse 5]
She said, hey, bossa nova baby, keep on working
For this ain't no time to drink
She said, go, bossa nova baby, keep on dancing
'Cause I ain't got time to think
[Verse 6]
Bossa nova, bossa nova
[Verse 7]
I said, come on, baby
It's hot in here and it's oh-so cool outside
And if you lend me a dollar, I can buy some gas
And we can go for a little ride
[Verse 8]
She said, hey, bossa nova baby, keep on working
For I ain't got time for that
She said, go, bossa nova baby, keep on dancing
Or I'll find myself another cat
[Verse 9]
Bossa nova, bossa nova
[Verse 10]
Bossa nova, bossa nova
[Verse 11]
Bossa nova, bossa nova
