Basie Land

Tall and tan and young and lovely The girl from Ipanema goes walking And when she passes Each one she passes goes aah When she walks, she's like a samba That swings so cool and sways so gentle That when she passes Each one she passes goes hmm Ohh, but I watch her so sadly, how can I tell her, I love her Yes I would give my heart gladly But each day when she walks to the sea She looks straight ahead, not at me Tall, tan, young, lovely The girl from Ipanema goes walking And when she passes I smile but she doesn't see Ohh, but I watch her so sadly, how can I tell her, I love her Yes I would give my heart gladly But each day when she walks to the sea She looks straight ahead, not at me Tall and tan, young and lonely The girl from Ipanema goes walking And when she passes I smile but she doesn't see, she ain't lookin' at me It ain't me that she sees She keeps walkin' and swingin', on the beach you see But she's walkin' down the beach She swings like a samba
