tall and tan and young and lovely

the girl from ipanema goes walking

and when she passes

each one she passes goes a-a-h!

when she walks she s like a samba

she swings and sways

and sways so gentlely

that when she passes

each one she passes goes a-a-h!

ooh but he watches her so sadly

when 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

she smiles but she doesn t see

now she doesn t see

ooh but he watches her so sadly

how can he tells 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 by

he smiles she doesn t see

tall and tan and young and lovely

the girl from ipanema goes walking

and when she passes by

she
