[Intro]
Ô, como é que é, tudo bem?
Oh, yeah, right
I just got back from Brazil
Or... Brasil
You know, I was walking in the streets in Brazil
And I saw this guy
He was beating this little drum
And was a Carnival time and... and was great
The guy was the samba himself
Then I said "Hey, man, what is your name?"
And he said "My name is Samba"
[Chorus]
I wanna tell you about this samba, samba, samba
Samba doe and samba la
Down in Brasil in the Carnaval the people dance all day long around the town
I wanna tell you about this samba, samba, samba
Samba doe and samba la
Down in Brasil in the Carnaval the people dance all day long around the town
[Bridge]
The happy people there sing the heaven above
The happy samba goes everywhere that you go
[Chorus]
I wanna tell you about this samba, samba, samba
Samba doe and samba la
Samba doe and samba la
Samba doe and samba la
Samba doe and samba la
[Bridge]
The happy people there sing the heaven above
The happy samba goes everywhere that you go
[Chorus]
I wanna tell you about this samba, samba, samba
Samba doe and samba la
Samba doe and samba la
Samba doe and samba la
Samba doe and samba la
Samba doe and samba la
Samba doe and samba la (eh)
Samba doe and samba la (eh)
Samba doe and samba la
Samba doe and samba la
Samba doe and samba la (whoo)
Samba doe and samba la (whoo)
Samba doe and samba la (vamo lá)
Samba doe and samba la (whoo)
(Samba doe and samba la)
(Samba doe and samba la)
(Samba doe and samba la)
