Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking now
When she passes each one she passes
Goes daboo-du-di-daa

When she walks, she's just like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gentle
That when she passes, each one she passes
Goes daboo-du-di-daa

Ooh, but I watch her so sadly, how can I tell her I love her
Yes, I would give my heart gladly
But each day as she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead, not at me

Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking now
When she passes
I go di-di-di-di-di-do-di, ba-ba-di-di-daa
The girl, the girl, the girl from Ipanema, from Ipanema
Wi-wi-wi-di-da-da-daa, la-la-la-da-da-da-da-da-da
Di-dop-dap-di-di-di-do, ba-ra-la-pa-di-di-daa

Yeah, I want her so badly, how, 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 and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, I smile
But she doesn't see, she ain't looking at me
