I said take it easy baby I work all day
And my feet feel just like lead
You got my shirt tail flying 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


Bossa nova, Bossa nova


I said hey little momma, let's sit down
Have a drink and dig the band
She said drink, drink, drink, oh fiddle-de-dee
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


Bossa nova, Bossa nova


Bossa nova, Bossa nova
