^{Key: :[C] (w: Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller)}
INTRO: [C7]

VERSE 1:
I said, [C7] 'Take it easy, baby
I worked all day and my feet feel just like lead
You got my shirt tails flyin' all over the place
And the sweat poppin' out of my head'

CHORUS 1:
She said, [F7] 'Hey Bossa nova, baby
keep on a workin' for this ain't no time to quit'
She said, [C7] 'Go, Bossa nova, baby
keep on dancin' I'm about to have myself a fit'

BRIDGE:
[C7] Bossa Nova, Bossa Nova [C7 *F1]

VERSE 2:
I said, [C7] 'Hey little mama, let's sit down
have a drink and dig the band'
She said, 'Drink, drink, drink, oh, fiddle-de-dink
I can dance with a drink in my hand'

CHORUS 2:
She said [F7] 'Hey Bossa nova, baby
keep on workin' for this ain't no time to drink'
She said [C7] 'Go, Bossa nova, baby
keep on dancin' 'cause I ain't got time to think'

INSTRUMENTAL: [over VERSE + CHORUS]

VERSE 3:
I said, [C7] 'Come on baby, it's hot in here
and it's oh so cool outside
If you lend me a dollar, I can buy some gas
and we can go for a little ride'

CHORUS 3:
She said, [F7] 'Hey Bossa nova, baby
keep on workin' for I ain't got time for that'
She said, [C7] 'Go Bossa nova, baby
keep on dancin' or I'll find myself another cat'
