Lyrics:

I was at a dance when she caught my eyes
Standin' all alone lookin' sad and shy
We began to dance swayin' to and from
And soon I knew I'd never let her go

Blame it on the bossa nova
With its magic spell
Blame it on the bossa nova
That she did so well
Oh it all began with just one little dance
But soon it ended up a big romance
Blame it on the bossa nova
The dance of love

Now was it the moon
No,no, the bossa nova
Or the stars above
No,no, the bossa nova
Now was it the time
Yeh,yeh, the bossa nova
The dance of love

Now that little girl is my bride to be
And we're gonna raise a family
And when our kids ask how it came about
I'm gonna say to them without a doubt

Blame it on the bossa nova
With its magic spell
Blame it on the bossa nova
That she did so well
Oh it all began with just one little dance
But soon it ended up a big romance
Blame it on the bossa nova
The dance of love.....
