Tall and tan and young and lovely And when she passes each one she passes goes ah When she walks she's like a samba that Swings so cool and sway so gently That when she passes each one she passes goes ah Oh But he watches her so sadly How can he tell her he loves her Yes He would give his heart gladly But each day when she walks to the sea She looks straight ahead not at him Oh But he watches her so sadly How can he tell her he loves her Yes He would give his heart gladly But each day when she walks to the sea She looks straight ahead not at him Tall and tan and young and lovely And when she passes he smiles But she doesn't see oh She doesn't see oh she doesn't see but she doesn't see
