Intro: CC
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.
Chorus:
F
She said, hey, bossa nova, baby, keep on
workin' cause this ain't no time to quit.
C

I'm about to have myself a fit.
CGFGC
Bossa nova, bossa nova..
C
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.
Chorus:
F
She said, hey, bossa nova, baby, keep on workin' cause
this ain't no time to drink.
C

ain't got time to think.

Bossa nova, bossa nova..
Interlude: CFCC
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
or a little ride.

ain't got time for that.
C

find myself another cat.

Bossa nova, bossa nova..
