Caramba! it's the samba lyrics
by Peggy Lee



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-oo-oo

You better play a Rhumba for me
Because I know he will adore me
When I begin to do
A Rhumba 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-oo-oo

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

(Instrumental interlude)

When they play something dreamy
You will see me waltz away from everyone
And when I tango all the gang go
Off the floor twatch 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

Oba, Oba
