Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes each one she passes goes ah

When she walks she's like a samba that
Swings so cool and sway so gently
That when she passes each one she passes goes ah

Oh but I watch her so sadly
How can I tell her he loves her

Yes he would give my heart gladly
But each day when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead not at him
Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes I smiles
But she doesn't see

Hum hum hum

So dancing samba so dancing samba
Bye bye bye bye bye
So dancing samba so dancing samba
Bye

So dancing samba so dancing samba
Bye bye bye bye bye
So dancing samba so dancing samba

Bye

Oh but he watch her so sadly
How can he tell her that he loves her
Yes he would give my heart gladly
But each day when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead not at him
Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes I smiles
But she doesn't see

But she doesn't see

But she doesn't see

But she doesn't see
