The music of Dancesport: I Yi Yi Yi

George's Thoughts: I first fell in love with this song while watching a show dance performance by Donny Burns and Gaynor Fairweather. Absolutely wonderful Samba song, with every quality you could possibly want for Samba. The lyrics by Mack Gordon are delightful ("How I'd like your hips to hipsnotize me") and the energy is very high throughout. Samba music doesn't get much better than this.

I, yi, yi, yi, yi, I like you very much,
I, yi, yi, yi, yi, I think you're grand;
Why, why, why is it that when I feel your touch,
My heart starts to beat, to beat the band?

I, yi, yi, yi, yi like you to hold me tight,
You are too, too, too, too, too divine;
If you want to be in someone's arms tonight,
Just be sure the arms you're in are mine.

Oh, I like your lips
And I like your eyes;
How I'd like your hips
To "hipsnotize" me

Si, si, si, si, si, si, see the moon above,
Way, way, way, way, way up in the blue;
Si, si, si, senhor I think I fall in love.
And when I fall, I think I fall for you.

I, yi, yi, yi,
Si, si, si, si,
I, yi, yi, yi
Can see, see, see
That you're for me.

I, yi, yi, yi, yi, I like you very much,
I, yi, yi, yi, yi, I think you're grand;
Why, why, why is it that when I feel your touch,
My heart starts to beat, to beat the band?

I, yi, yi, yi, yi like you to hold me tight,
You are too, too, too, too, too divine;
If you want to be in someone's arms tonight,
Just be sure the arms you're in are mine.

Oh, I like your lips
And I like your eyes;
How I'd like your hips
To "hipsnotize" me

Si, si, si, si, si, si, see the moon above,
Way, way, way, way, way up in the blue;
Si, si, si, senhor I think I fall in love.
And when I fall, I think I fall for you.

I, yi, yi, yi,
Si, si, si, si,
I, yi, yi, yi
Can see, see, see
That you're for me.
