When I arrived in New YorkThe immigration officer asked meWhere have you been Mr. BimWhere have you been, JoeYou've been abroad for too long Mr. BimHaven't you been?I got to the Hotel exhausted to my roomHaving to attend a cocktailLate that afternoonAnd there my boss NesuhiAn old friend of Jobim's said:May introduce you to Gloria?By all meansBuy all jeansI've never been in Paris for the summerI've never drank a Scotch with this bouquetMy life is such a mess let's have a BrahmaI'm happy that you called,I really feel touchéOh, it's been a long, a very long timeSince a Brazilian has been in Paris com vocêYou look so cute there wearing my pajamasYou look so sexy with my pince-nezLet's hijack this Concord to the BahamasCome on dress up my loveLet's go to the balletOh, it's been a long, a very long timeSince a Brazilian has danced with youLe pas-de-deux
