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
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 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
yeah yeah the bossa nova
the dance of love
now i’m glad to say i’m his bridetobe
and we’re gonna raise a family
and when our kids ask how it came about
and 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 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
yeah yeah 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
yeah yeah the bossa nova
