(Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil)
|
I was at a dance when he caught my eye
|
Standin' all alone lookin' sad and shy
|
We began to dance, swaying' to and fro
|
And soon I knew I'd never let him go
|
|
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 then it ended up a big romance
|
Blame it on the bossa nova
|
The dance of love
|
|
(Now was it the moon?)
|
No, no, the bossa nova
|
(Or the stars above?)
|
No, no, the bossa nova
|
(Now was it the tune?)
|
Yeah, yeah, the bossa nova
|
(The dance of love)
|
|
[Instrumental organ]
|
|
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 about
|
I'm gonna say to them without a doubt
|
|
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 then it ended up a big romance
|
Blame it on the bossa nova
|
The dance of love
|
|
(Now was it the moon?)
|
No, no, the bossa nova
|
(Or the stars above?)
|
No, no, the bossa nova
|
(Now was it the tune?)
|
Yeah, yeah, the bossa nova
|
(The dance of love)
|
|
(Now was it the moon?)
|
No, no, the bossa nova
|
(Or the stars above ?)
|
|
[Fade]
|
|
No, no, the bossa nova
