Hey baby, what are you doing?
Hey baby, what are you doing?
Ah, just sittin' around and digging the sound
Ah, just sittin' around and digging the sound
How about that?
How about that?
Hey, why don't we go out?
Hey, why don't we go out?
I wanna train you into a new dance
I wanna train you into a new dance
It's naked
It's naked
It's called bolero
It's called bolero
Singin' around my radio
Singin' around my radio
Beautiful day tomorrow
Beautiful day tomorrow
Mirror without a shadow
Mirror without a shadow
Lights my body and soul
Lights my body and soul
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Uoh oh oh oh
Uoh oh oh oh
Shuffle a million dollars
Shuffle a million dollars
Drinkin' a cup of coffee
Drinkin' a cup of coffee
Get in a lucky number
Get in a lucky number
Smoking a cigarette
Smoking a cigarette
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Uoh oh oh oh
Uoh oh oh oh
Now together

We're together now

Nothing more than you and me
Nothing more than you and me
Get up with my bolero

Smoke an a million dollars
Smoke like a million dollars
Singin' around my radio
Singing around my radio
Lightin' my lucky numbers
Lighting up my lucky numbers
Shuffle my body and soul
Shuffling my body and soul
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Uoh oh oh oh
Uoh oh oh oh
Watching the stars of Broadway
Watching the stars of Broadway
Beautiful day tomorrow
Beautiful day tomorrow
Shadow without a mirror
Shadow without a mirror
Gettin' a cigarette
Gettin' a cigarette
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Uoh oh oh oh
Uoh oh oh oh

Nothing more than you and me
Nothing more than you and me

And spend a year you and me
And spend a year you and me

Like a terrific explosion
Like a tremendous blast
I remember the dreamin' illusion

Sweet and lovely the hit of the night
Sweet and lovely, the hit of the night
Get up with my bolero
Get up with my bolero

Get up with my bolero
Come on baby
Come on baby
And spend a year you and me
And let's spend a year, just you and me

Get up with my bolero
Baby, baby
