Lyrics

(Fmaj7)Tall and tan and young and love ly, the girl from I pa ne ma goes walk ing, and when she pass es, each one she pass es goes “a-a-h!”

(Fmaj7)When she walks she’s like a sam ba that (G7)swings so cool and sways so gen tle, that when she pass es, each one she pass es goes “a-a-h!”

(Gbmaj7)Oh,

but I watch her so (Cb9)sad ly.

(F#m7)How

can I tell her I (D9)love her?

(Gm7)Yes,

I would give my heart (Eb7)glad ly,

but each (Am7)day when she walks to the (D)sea,

she (Gm7)looks straight a head, not at (C)me.

(Fmaj7)Tall and tan and young and love ly, the girl from I pa ne ma goes walk ing, and when she pass es I smile, but she does n’t (Fmaj7)see.

She just does n’t (Fmaj7)see.

No, she does n’t (Fmaj7)see.
