Tall and tan and young and love-ly
The girl from I-pa-ne-ma goes wal-king
and when she pas-ses each one she pas-ses goes oehhh
When she walks she's like a sam-ba
That swings so cool and she's so gent-ly
that when she pas-ses each one she pas-ses goes ahh
Ohh but he watch her so sad-ly
How can he tell her he loves her?
Yes, he would give his heart glad-ly
But each day when she walks to the sea
She looks straight a-head not at he
Tall and tan and young and love-ly
The girl from I-pa-ne-ma goes wal-king
and when she pas-ses he smiles
but she does-n't see
no she does-n't see
