I said, "Take it easy, baby

I worked all day and my feet feel just like lead

You got my shirt tails flyin' all over the place

And the sweat poppin' out of my head"

She said, "Hey, bossa nova baby

Keep on workin' for this ain't no time to quit"

She said, "Go, bossa nova baby keep on dancin'

I'm about to have myself a fit"

I said, "Hey little mama, let's sit down

Have a drink and dig the band"

She said, "Drink, drink, drink oh, fiddle-de-dink

I can dance with a drink in my hand"

Keep on workin' for this ain't no time to drink"

Keep on dancin', 'cause I ain't got time to think"

I said, "Come on baby, it's hot in here

And it's oh so cool outside

If you lend me a dollar, I can buy some gas

And we can go for a little ride"

Keep on workin' for I ain't got time for that"

Keep on dancin' or I'll find myself another cat"
