    I said, 'Take it easy, baby
    I worked all day and my feet feel just like lead
    You got my shirt tails
    Flyin' all over the place
    And the sweat poppin' out of my head'

    I said, 'Come on, baby
    It's hot in here
    And it's oh so cool outside
    If you lend me a dollar
    I can buy some gas
    And we can go for a little ride'

    She said, 'Hey Bossa nova, baby
    Keep on workin' child
    I ain't got time for that'
