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 Id 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
No, no, the bossa nova
No, no, the bossa nova
Yeah, yeah, the bossa nova
Now Im glad to say Im his bride to be
And were gonna raise a family
And when our kids ask how it came about
Im 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
No, no, the bossa nova
Yeah, yeah, the bossa nova
No, no, the bossa nova
No, no, the bossa nova
