Elvis meets Muhammed Ali

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 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 fiddley-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 its 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

Evening shadows make me blue
When each weary day is through
How I long to be with you
My happiness

Every day I reminisce
Dreaming of your tender kiss
Always thinking how I miss
My happiness

A million years it seems
Have gone by since we shared our dreams
But I'll hold you again
There'll be no blue memories then

Whether skies are grey or blue
Any place on earth will do
Just as long as I'm with you
My happiness

A million years it seems
Have gone by since we shared our dreams
But I'll hold you again
There'll be no blue memories then

Whether skies are grey or blue
Any place on earth will do
Just as long as I'm with you
My happiness
