Bossa Nova Baby
Elvis Presley and the Jordanaires Lyrics

I said, take it easy, baby
I told you to relax, honey.

I worked all day
I've been working all day long.

And my feet feel just like lead
My feet are so tired I can barely walk.

You got my shirt tails Flyin' all over the place
You got me spinning around so much my shirt is flying all over the place.

And the sweat poppin' out of my head
I'm so sweaty, my sweat is popping out of my head.

She said, hey, bossa nova baby
She called me 'bossa nova baby'.

Keep on a workin' for This ain't no time to quit
Don't stop working now, there's still stuff to do.

She said, go, bossa nova baby
She told me to keep dancing.

Keep on dancin' I'm about to have myself a fit
Keep dancing or I'll lose it!

Bossa nova, bossa nova
Let's dance some bossa nova music!

I said, hey, little mama
I called her 'little mama'.

Let's sit down Have a drink and dig the band
Let's sit down, have a drink and enjoy the music.

She said, drink, drink, drink Oh, fiddle de dink
She sang a nonsensical phrase, encouraging me to drink.

I can dance with a drink in my hand
I can dance even while holding a drink.

Keep on workin' for This ain't no time to drink
Don't drink now, there's still work to do.

Or I'll find myself another cat
Or I'll find someone else to dance with.

I said, come on, baby
I urged her to come on.

It's hot in here And it's oh so cool outside
It's hot inside but outside is cool.

If you lend me a dollar I can buy some gas
If you lend me a dollar, I can fill up the gas tank.

And we can go for a little ride
And then we can go for a ride.

I ain't got time for that
I don't have time for that.

Bossa nova, bossa nova
Let's dance to some bossa nova music!
