Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun
And I say its all right

Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes
each one she passes goes "a-a-ah!"

It's really true how nothing matters
No mad, mad world and no mad hatters
No one's pitching 'cause there ain't no batters
In Coconut Grove

She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky

Here comes the ocean
and the waves down by the sea
Here comes the ocean
and the waves where have they been

Aah, I'm going to see Lee Hazelwood next month in London, haven't really heard much apart from the Nancy and Lee album, does anyone have any of his solo stuff?

Favourite Chameleons summer song has to be 'Looking Inwardly' followed by 'The Fan and the Bellows'.
