Bossa Nova, Baby (Takes 1-2) Songtext
von Elvis Presley

I said, "Take it easy, baby, I worked 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 ′bout 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 you fink, oh, fiddly-de-dink
I can dance with a drink in my hand"


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 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 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 the time for that"
She said, "Go bossa nova, baby, keep on dancin′
Or I′ll find myself another cat"

Bossa Nova
