Blame It On The Bossa Nova

Songwriters: Weil, Cynthia / Mann, Barry

I was at a dance
When he caught my eye
Standin' all alone
Lookin' sad and shy
We began to dance
Swayin' to and fro
And soon I knew I'd never let him go

(Chorus)
Blame it on the bossa nova
With it's 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
Yea yea 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 gonna say to them with out a doubt

(Chorus)
