Tall and tan and young and lovely, the girl from Ipanema goes walking

And when she passes, each one she passes goes - ah

When she walks, she's like a samba that swings so cool and sways so gently

That when she passes, each one she passes goes - aah

Ooh But he watches so sadly, How can he tell her he loves her,

Yes he would give his heart gladly,

but instead when she walks to the sea,

she looks straight ahead not at him,

Tall, and tan, and young, and lovely, the girl from Ipanema goes walking

And when she passes, he smiles - but she doesn't see

(saxaphone solo)

(Ooh) But he sees her so sadly, how can he tell her he loves her

Yes he would give his heart gladly,

But each day, when she walks to the sea

She looks straight ahead, not at him

Tall, and tan, and young, and lovely, the girl from Ipanema goes walking

And when she passes, he smiles - but she doesn't see

(She just doesn't see)x6
