Caramba! It's the Samba lyrics

Tonight is my night out for dancing

There's a guy that I'm romancing

I hope he falls for me before the night is through

I can't wait till we start swaying

What the heck is that they're playing?

Caramba! It's the samba, it's the one dance I can't do

You better play a rumba for me

'Cause I know he will adore me

When I begin to do a rumba shake or two

I am waiting on the floor now

Just another minute more now

Caramba! It's the samba, it's the one dance I can't do

When they play something dreamy

You will see me waltz away from everyone

And when I tango

All the gang go off the floor to watch the fun

Aye!

There must be a million

Of the tunes that aren't Brazilian

So I can't understand why they don't play a few

Ah! The band's about to start now

There'll be music in my heart now

Caramba! It's the samba, it's the one dance I can't do

When they play something dreamy

You will see me waltz away from everyone

And when I tango

All the gang go off the floor to watch the fun

Aye!

There must be a million

Of the tunes that aren't Brazilian

So I can't understand why they don't play a few

Ah! The band's about to start now

There'll be music in my heart now

Caramba! It's the samba, it's the one dance I can't do

Ooh-bah! Ooh-bah!
