Rebola a Bola
Carmen Miranda
Shake the Ball
Shake the ball, I’m gonna show you how it’s done
A rhythmic shake from my head to my toes
Shake the ball, button up that dress tight
Shake it, girl, and I’ll give you my heart tonight
I saw a chat get messy in the mix
And another one all tangled up in cornmeal
And the chatter’s popping like a yellow corn dish
In a talk that’s all about what went down in Amapá
And when I told the parrot that was squawking
My dad fainted, 'cause the talk was too much
And I was left like a bird on a stick
When I hear the parrot say, "You’re a pagan, man"
Shake the ball, I’m gonna show you how it’s done
A rhythmic shake from my head to my toes
Shake the ball, button up that dress tight
Shake it, girl, and I’ll give you my heart tonight
And I didn’t want to see that chatter anymore
That got all tangled up in a kite, soaked through
And that’s why I cover my eyes real quick
When I see a little bird chirping and the old man too
And let the devil cover up with a cape
That dares to ride on the devil’s back
So no one can see the kite chatter
Kite pop kite belly poppin’ to samba in peace
Shake the ball, I’m gonna show you how it’s done
A rhythmic shake from my head to my toes, toes, toes
Shake the ball, button up that dress tight
Shake it, girl, and I’ll give you my heart tonight
I saw a chat get messy in the mix
And another one all tangled up in cornmeal
And the chatter’s popping like a yellow corn dish
In a talk that’s all about what went down in Amapá
And when I told my dad that was squawking
My dad fainted, 'cause the talk was too much
And I was left like a bird on a stick
When I hear the parrot say, "You’re a pagan, man"
And let the devil cover up with a cape
That dares to ride on the devil’s back
So no one can see the kite chatter
Kite pop kite belly poppin’ to samba in peace
And I didn’t want to see that chatter anymore
That got all tangled up in a kite, soaked through
And that’s why I cover my eyes real quick
When I see a little bird chirping and the old man too
Uh
