Lyrics for Chansong

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 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 hijack this Concord 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
