When I arrived in New York
The immigration officer asked me
Where have you been, Mr. Bim
Where have you been, Joe
You've been abroad for too long, Mr. Bim
Haven't you been?
I got to the hotel
Exhausted to my room
Having to attend a cocktail
Late that afternoon
And there my boss Nesuhi
An old friend of Jobim's said
May I introduce you to Gloria?
By all means
Buy all jeans

I've never been in Paris
For the Summer
I've never drank a Scotch
With this bouquet
My life is such a mess
Let's have a Brahma
I'm happy that you called
I really feel touché
Oh, it's been a long
A very long time
Since a Brazilian has been in Paris
Com você
You look so cute
There wearing my pajamas
You look so sexy with my pince-nez
Let's highjack this Concorde
To the Bahamas
Come on dress up my love
Let's go to the ballet
Oh, it's been a long
A very long time
Since a Brazilian has danced with you
Le pas-de-deux
