” The Girl From Ipanema “
Dedicated to Jeannine Platz
Small and tan and young and lovely
The Girl from Ipanema keeps painting
And when she’s inspired, each one who admires goes: Aah!
When she paints she’s like a bossa that
Swings so cool and sways so gentle,
That when she’s performing, each one who passes goes: Ooh!
Oh, we do find her so friendly
How can we tell her, we love you?
Yes, we would give our heart gladly
But each day when she paints through the Suite She looks straight ahead to the sea, not at me
Small and tan and young and lovely
The Girl from Ipanema keeps coloring
And when she’s inspired her hands never tire by looking the sea
She just looks to the sea Yes, just to the sea
