about

Arthur and his men arrive in Ipanema. There, they are greeted with provincial sounds and music, ambrosia of the night. Arthur believes a band of small musicians is following them, but they never reveal themselves.

lyrics

You've never seen a sight that's quite like this
So full of mermaids and Brazilian mist
Small and shifty and quick and spritely
The band from Ipanema goes jumping
and when we pass you we smile, but you don't see

We'd like to welcome you to our next show
You may have heard of us in towns you go
You've never heard a sound that's quite like this
Seduce your heart out like a black snake hiss

Small and shifty and quick and spritely
The band from Ipanema goes stalking
and when we pass you we smile, but you don't see.
