Relax‐ay‐voo Songtext
von Dean Martin & Line Renaud

(With Line Renaud)

(Dean) When you′re too tense it's common sense to relax-ay-voo
(Dean) The more you earn the less you learn to relax-ay-voo
(Line) We French you′ll find are more inclined to relax-ay-voo
(Both) Relax, relax, relax, relax-ay-voo

(Line) Your doctor bills they hold for pills to relax-ay-voo
(Line) You're in your prime so now's the time to relax-ay-voo
(Dean) The girls pursue those fellows who can relax-ay-voo
(Both) Relax, relax, relax, relax-ay-voo

(Dean) You′re as tight as a drum
(Line) You′re as gay as a tune
(Dean) You better loosen up chum
(Dean) Your drum is apt to snap and go boom boom
(Dean) And when you go they'll take your dough
(Line) Cause it′s tax-ay-voo (D) relax-ay-voo
(Both) Get your sneakers and slacks and relax-ay-voo


(Line) I don't have to try to relax-ay-voo

(Dean) Chum I′m much to numb to relax-ay-voo
(Line) We French you'll find are more inclined to relax-ay-voo
(Both) Relax, relax, relax, relax-ay-voo

(Line) Bub, I take a tub to relax-ay-voo
(Dean) Bub, I sit and scrub to relax-ay-voo
(Line) The girls pursue those fellows who can relax-ay-voo
(Both) Relax, relax, relax, relax-ay-voo


(Line) You′re as tight as a drum
(Dean) I was loose as a deuce
(Line) You're as gay as a tune
(Dean) I was light as a kite
(Line) Better loosen up chum
(Line) Your drum is apt to snap and go boom boom
(Line) And when you go they'll take your dough
(Dean) For a tax-ay-voo (L) relax-ay-voo
(Both) Get your sneakers and slacks and relax-ay-voo
(Both) Get your sneakers and slacks and relax-ay-voo
