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 then it ended up a big romance
Blame it on the bossa nova
The dance of love
I was at a dance when he caught my eye
Standin' all alone lookin' 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 then it ended up a big romance
Blame it on the bossa nova
The dance of love
Now was it the moon
Or the stars above
Now was it the tune
The dance of love
No no the bossa nova
No no the bossa nova
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 then it ended up a big romance
Blame it on the bossa nova
The dance of love
No no the bossa nova
Yeah yeah bossa nova
No no the bossa nova
The bossa nova
The dance of love
