When marimba rhythms start to play, dance with me, make me sway; 
 
Am          Am7    Dm   Am7 E7    Dm   Am7  E7   Am   E7  Am 
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; 
 
Am                Am7    Dm  Am7  E7     Dm  Am7  E7  Am   E7  Am 
When we dance you have a way with me -- stay with me, sway with me.

Other dancers may be on the floor, dear, but my eyes will see only you; 
 
                   E7                                   Am 
Only you have the magic technique --- when we sway I go weak.
