Lyric

Ah-ba doo, ah-ba dee

Ooh-la, ba-da, come with me

Salt on the rail, warm cup in my hand

A little blue boat pulling from the sand

You turn and grin by the striped cabana

The whole afternoon slips into a samba

No map, no clock, no reason to hurry

Your laugh makes the horizon blurry

Come on, take the long way round

Barefoot where the palms lean down

Every little worry can wait by the shore

You and I keep finding more

Ba-da-bah, doo-bee-doo

I’ve got a sunny day for you

Mango on ice, two tickets for the ferry

You say my name and suddenly I’m merry

A paper kite climbs over the water

We lose the afternoon, just like we oughta

No plans, no calls, no need to explain

Let the tide erase yesterday’s rain

Come on, take the long way round

Barefoot where the palms lean down

Every little worry can wait by the shore

You and I keep finding more

Ba-da-bah, doo-bee-doo

I’ve got a sunny day for you

Doo-ba, dee-ba, da-ra-dah

Ooh-wee, ba-da, la-la-la

You say stay, I say alright

We can borrow one more night

When the evening paints the harbor gold

Keep your hand in mine and don’t let go

Tomorrow can have its crowded view

Tonight belongs to me and you

Come on, take the long way round

Barefoot where the palms lean down

Every little worry can wait by the shore

You and I keep finding more

Ba-da-bah, doo-bee-doo

I’ve got a sunny day for you

Ah-ba doo, ah-ba dee

Ooh-la, ba-da, stay with me

Doo-bee-dah, la-ra-lay

We’ll take the long way every day
