"The Bossa Nova" lyrics

"The Bossa Nova"

Oh, baby, can I come over?
I-I-I-I-I wanna Bossa Nova
It's the latest, it's brand-new
It's the greatest dance to do
Bossa Nova, it's a-real boss

Oh, baby, I'm gonna teach ya
I-I-I-I-I-I betcha it'll reach ya
Lots of Samba has that jazz
Got the Limbo razzmattaz
Bossa Nova, it's a-real boss

Come on and dance with me, and you'll see
It's everything a dance should be
Take a chance, it's the dance
That will take us to romance

So, baby, let's Bossa Nova
I-I-I-I-I wanna be your lover
When I do this dance with you
Betcha you'll kiss when we're through
Bossa Nova, it's a-real boss

Yeah, it's the latest, it's brand-new
It's the greatest dance to do
Bossa Nova, it's a-real boss

Come on and dance with me, and you'll see
It's everything a dance should be
Take a chance, it's the dance
That will take us to romance

So, baby, let's Bossa Nova
I-I-I-I-I wanna be your lover
When I do this dance with you
Betcha you'll kiss when we're through
Bossa Nova, it's a-real boss

Mm, Bossa Nova
It's a-real boss
It's so boss, it's the Bossa Nova
It's a-real boss
Bossa, Bossa, Bossa Nova
It's a-real boss
