Walking in the streets,
South America.
Cruisin down the beach
Of Copacabana.
Dreamin on the dream,
Beauty of the scene.
Girl that I just seen walking by
Was looking at you and her smile was so shy.
Were gonna dream on.

Refrão
Just blame it on the Samba,
Blame it on tequila nights.
Don't blame it on calypso
Calypso
You know it was the moonlight oh oh oh oh!

Dazing in the shadow
under palm trees and the light,
starting to remember,
what happened to you last night.
Dreamin on the dream,
beauty of the scene.
The guys that were just seen
Walking by look like
The guy who robbed you last night .
Were gonna dream on.

Just blame it on the Samba,
Blame it on tequila nights.
Don't blame it on calypso
(calypso)
you know it was the moonlight.
