Dream of Ipanema (single)

by Don Swanson

/

about

The power of femininity, expressed and inspired by the girl from Ipanema by Jobim.

lyrics

This is just a little samba written for Jobim
Down in Rio with the Jesus on the cross by the sea
He was drinking Johnny Walker not the black but the red
while singing Ipanema about the girl that was said
to have a walk, a talk, a real attitude
Like a feathered carioca like a bird in the zoo
When she passed every morning on her way to the sand
She would look straight ahead, she was tall, she was tan

She was the kind of girl that came from above
A goddess or a little fallen angel of love
To reek a little havoc with the fellows of man
who all just wanna taste it, wanna embrace it
Face it, she's the one that's making the calls
Their's nothing more to talk about their's nothing at all
It's tall and tan and young and lovely taking the stand
It's older than the serpents garden... apple in hand.
