The B-52's

Song Lyrics

(Ricky Wilson/Keith Strickland/Cindy Wilson)

CHORUS
Girl from Ipanema, she goes to Greenland
Girl from Ipanema, she goes to Greenland

Witch doctors are screaming
Nymphs are dreaming
This girl's lost someone
Who is that someone
She's leaving

CHORUS

Hot latitudes, cool attitudes
She's leaving
Moon in her mirror
Chasing northern lights
She goes, ahhh

Girl from Ipanema, she goes to Greenland

Remember, wherever you go
There you are

CHORUS
