I was at a dance, when he caught my eye
Standing all alone, looking 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 soon 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 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 soon 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?)
No, no, the bossa nova
(Now, was it the tune?)
Yeah, yeah, the bossa nova
(The dance of love)
