Lyrics
South America, South America
Please accept my regards
For your tango style, very languid style
Dance of the graceful retards
You brought into view a sensation new
A creation that’s true
On the floor we’ll go
I will show it to you
Chorus
Jazzamarimba, go on and play it
On your marimba-phone
Jazzamarimba, go on and sway it
Sway to a soothing tone
Come and dance to it
Take a chance to it
Be entranc’d with its moan
Play that topical, southern tropical
Appealin’ Venezuelan xylophone
It is the right thing, really delighting
Here’s an inviting chance
Jazzamarimba, come on unlimber
Jazzamarimba Dance
Performance
