181 - Blame It On The Bossa Nova
Verse 1
I was at a dance when he caught my eye
Standin' all a-lone lookin' sad and shy--
We began to dance, swaying' to and fro
And soon I knew I'd never let him go
Chorus
Blame it on the bossa nova with its magic spell
Blame it on the bossa nova that he did so well
Oh, it all began with just one little dance
But soon it ended up a big romance
Blame it on the bossa nova
The dance of love
Bridge
Now was it the moon? No, no, the bossa nova
Or the stars a-bove? No, no, the bossa nova
Now was it the tune? Yeah, yeah, the bossa nova
The dance of love
Instrumental
Verse 2
Now I'm glad to say I'm his bride to be
And we're gonna raise a family
And when our kids ask how it came a-bout
I'm gonna say to them without a doubt
Chorus
Blame it on the bossa nova with its magic spell
Blame it on the bossa nova that he did so well
Oh, it all began with just one little dance
But soon it ended up a big romance
Blame it on the bossa nova
The dance of love
Bridge
Now was it the moon? No, no, the bossa nova
Or the stars a-bove? No, no, the bossa nova
Now was it the tune? Yeah, yeah, the bossa nova
The dance of love
