‘CARLOS JOBIM’ by Victor Kinsman ©
( From his ‘Blue Planet Blues’ Album )
Of interest the Lyric uses 18 of Jobim’s song titles ( in italics )
(Intro) Nineteen sixty, he came on the scene
Bossa Novas, soft as a dream
In Brazil, they know who I mean
Antonio, Carlos Jobim.
(Verse)
He made 'The Girl from Ipanema' sway
Made the gentle ocean 'Wave'
Gave us 'Quiet Nights' for 'Meditation'
Sang his music 'Slightly out of Tune'
Said there would be 'No More Blues'
Just 'This Happy Madness'
With his Bossa Novas, know what I mean?
Mr. Bossa Nova, Carlos Jobim
Once I used to sing the 'One Note Samba'
And 'Shansong'
And for 'Dreamer', 'How Insensitive'
A sad song
So, if ‘The Love That I Have Found'
Draws you to ‘Jazz Samba' sounds
You will soon discover
Mr. Bossa Nova, know what I mean
Mr. Bossa Nova, Carlos Jobim
( Instumental to bridge* and last verse)
* 'Dindi' dances with 'Angela' and 'Bonita'
But I don't know which one comes from - -
Ip –a –ne -ma
So, if ‘The Love That I Have Found'
Draws you to ‘Jazz Samba' sounds
You will soon discover
Mr. Bossa Nova, know what I mean
Mr. Bossa Nova, Carlos Jobim
What a great composer, know what I mean
Mr. Bossa Nova, ‘Tom’ Jobim!
