    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'
              F

    Keep on a workin' child

    This ain't no time to quit'

    I said, 'Hey little mama,

    Let's sit down

    Have a drink and dig the band'

    She said, 'Drink, drink, drink

    Oh, fiddle-de-dink

    I can dance with a drink in my hand'

    She said 'Hey Bossa nova, baby

    Keep on workin' child

    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'
               F
    She said, 'Hey Bossa nova, baby

    Keep on workin' child

    I ain't got time for that'
