Tall and tan and young and handsome

The boy from Ipanema goes walking

When he passes each one he passes ah

When he walks he's like a samba that

Swings so cool and sway so gently that

When he passes each one he passes

Oh but I watch he was so shyly

How can I tell him I love him

Yes I would give my heart gladly

But each day when he walks to the sea

He looks straight ahead not at me

Tall and tan and young and handsome

The boy from Ipanema goes walking

When he passes I smile

He doesn't see

Oh I watch him so shyly

How can I tell him I love him

Yes I would give my heart gladly

But each day when he walks to the sea

He looks straight ahead not at me

Tan and young and

The handsome boy from Ipanema goes walking

And when he passes I smile

He doesn't see

He doesn't see

He doesn't see

He doesn't see me
