about

SAMBA WHAT YOU SAY is about a casual encounter.

lyrics

Remember Ricky Ricardo
There’s nothing like a tango
Up the tempo and we will play

Like they do in Santo Domingo
A rumba and a cha cha
Samba what you say

On a beach in Rio
I made love to a dancer
We never spoke a word

Whatever our secrets
Hidden from each other
Strangers became lovers
Voices unheard

You may think I’m a Casa Nova
But when you hear that bosa nova
Passion will have its way

Pretty girls like to mambo
Every lover is Latino
Samba what you say

By the bay of San Francisco
Dancing in the street
In a park in Chicago
Lovers chance to meet

And it really doesn't matter
If they ever speak
They can say it with their feet
Samba what you say

Pick any spot just a dot on the map
Pick any song any dance any rap
Any night or day

Country or disco
Foxtrot in Ohio
Samba what you say

On a beach in Rio
I made love to a dancer
We never spoke a word

Whatever our secrets
Hidden from each other
Strangers became lovers

Voices unheard
Samba what you say
Samba what you say
