Tall and tan and
young and handsome
The boy from Ipanema
goes walking
And when he passes
each girl he passes goes
When he walks
he's like a samba
That swings so cool
and sways so gentle
That when he passes
each girl he passes goes
Oh but I watch him
so sadly
How can I tell him
I love him
Yes I would give
my heart gladly
But each day when
he walks to the sea
He looks straight
ahead not at me
Tall and tan and
young and handsome
The boy from Ipanema
goes walking
And when he passes
I smile but he
doesn't see
No he doesn't see
he doesn't see me
Oh but I watch him
so sadly
How can I tell him
I love him
Yes I would give
my heart gladly
But each day when
he walks to the sea
He looks straight
ahead not at me
Tall and tan and
young and handsome
The boy from Ipanema
goes walking
And when he passes
I smile but he
doesn't see
He just doesn't see
he just doesn't see
