When marimba rhythms start to play, dance with me, make me sway;
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore, hold me close, sway me more.
Like a flower bending in the breeze, bend with me, sway with ease;
When we dance you have a way with me -- stay with me, sway with me.
(Bridge:)
Other dancers may be on the floor, dear, but my eyes will see only you;
Only you have the magic technique --- when we sway I go weak.
I can hear the sounds of vi - o - lins long be - fore it be - gins
Make me thrill as only you know how -- sway me smooth, sway me now
(Coda:)
You know how, sway me smooth, sway me now.
