One Note Samba / Surfboard

Antônio Carlos Jobim, Newton Mendonça, Herbie Mann, Lætitia Sadier, Tim Gane

This is just a little samba
Built upon a single note
Other notes are bound to follow
But the root is still that note
This new one is just the consequence
Of the one we've just been through
As I'm bound to be the unavoidable consequence of you

There's so many people who can talk and talk and talk
And just say nothing, oh, nearly nothing
I have used up all the scale I know
And in the end, it's come to nothing
Oh, nearly nothing

So I come back to that first note
As I must come back to you
I will pour into that one note
All the love I have for you
Anyone who wants the whole show
Ré Mi Fa Sol La Si Do
He will find himself with no show
Better play the note you know
