Dá a surpresa de ser

Dá a surpresa de ser É alta, de um louro escuro. Faz bem só pensar em ver Seu corpo meio maduro.

Seus seios altos parecem (Se ela estivesse deitada) Dois montinhos que amanhecem Sem ter que haver madrugada.

E a mão do seu braço branco Assenta em palmo espalhado Sobre a saliência do flanco Do seu relevo tapado.

Apetece como um barco. Tem qualquer coisa de gomo. Meu Deus, quando é que eu embarco? Ó fome, quando é que eu como?

Letra (versão de Ella Fitzgerald)            
                  
As Dorothy Parker once said
To her boyfriend, "fare thee well"
As Columbus announced
When he knew he was bounced,
"it was swell, Isabel, swell"
As Abelard said to Eloise,
"don’t forget to drop a line to me, please"
As Juliet cried, in her Romeo’s ear,
"Romeo, why not face the fact, my dear"         
               
It was just one of those things
Just one of those crazy flings
One of those bells that now and then rings
Just one of those things
It was just one of those nights
Just one of those fabulous flights
A trip to the moon on gossamer wings
Just one of those things
If we’d thought a bit, of the end of it
When we started painting the town
We’d have been aware that our love affair
Was too hot, not to cool down
So good-bye, dear, and amen
Here’s hoping we meet now and then
It was great fun
But it was just one of those things
If we’d thought a bit, of the end of it
When we started painting the town
We’d have been aware that our love affair
Was too hot, not to cool down
So good-bye, dear, and amen
Here’s hoping we meet now and then
It was great fun
But it was just one of those things
Just one of those things

Letra (versão de Doris Day)             
                      
It was just one of those things
Just one of those crazy flings
One of those bells that now and then rings
Just one of those things
It was just one of those nights
Just one of those fabulous flights
A trip to the moon on gossamer wings
Just one of those things
If we'd thought a bit about the end of it
When we started painting the town
We'd have been aware that our love affair
Was too hot not to cool down
So good-bye, dear, and amen
Here's hoping we meet now and then
It was great fun
But it was just one of those things
So good-bye, dear, and amen
Here's hoping we meet now and then
It was great fun
But it was just one of those things
