Lyrics:

After Catherine has farewelled her ghostly mother Katya, she steps outside with Bill and tells him the first thing she’s going to do is get rid of the fucking beige. Bill heads to his convertible Merc and Catherine rescues Krishna the dog from his back seat. Catherine gives Bill a farewell wave and he drives off, leaving Catherine in the driveway with a “bye warrior woman”. As Catherine watches Bill drive away down the road, a mysterious hand reaches down to turn on the car radio. The figure waves, and her red gauze shawl blows away into the air in the breeze. As the scarf floats high into the sky, Catherine laughs. The camera tilts down to finish on Krishna, then cuts back to the floating scarf, and fades to black. As Catherine laughs, we hear the opening lines of a song by , Bossa Nova Baby, from the movie . It runs over the tail credits, with the lyrics as heard in the film:

I said, 'Take it easy, baby I worked all day and my feet feel just like lead You got my shirt tails Flyin' all over the place And the sweat’s poppin' out of my head' (We see Catherine laughing, and then the camera drifts down onto a CU of the dog)

She said, 'Hey, Bossa nova, baby Keep on a workin' child ‘Cause there ain't no time to quit' She said, 'Go, Bossa nova, baby

(Shot of the red garment whirling through the sky; the image fades to black and tail credits begin)

Keep on dancin' I'm about to have myself a fit' Bossa nova, Bossa nova

I said, 'Hey little mama, Let's sit down Have a drink and dig the band' She said, 'Drink, drink, drink Oh, fiddle-de-dink I can dance with a drink in my hand' She said 'Hey Bossa nova, baby Keep on workin' ‘Cause this ain't no time to drink' She said 'Go, Bossa nova, baby Keep on dancin' 'Cause I ain't got time to think' Bossa nova, Bossa nova

(Brass instrumental takes over, with laughs, trills and then guitar)

I said, 'Come on, baby It's hot in here And it's oh so cool outside And if you lend me a dollar I can buy some gas And we can go for a little ride' She said, 'Hey Bossa nova, baby Keep on workin' For I ain't got time for that' She said, 'Go Bossa nova, baby Keep on dancin' ‘Till I find myself another cat' Bossa nova, Bossa nova Bossa nova, Bossa nova

The song ends with about 2’20” of titles to go. An instrumental goes over the rest of the credits.
