Hi, the song you are talking about is a duet with Dean Martin and Bella Martha, “Relax-Ay-Voo” 1989 EMI Records Ltd. Written by Johns/Salvador Performed by Dean Martin ? Published by Universal / Warner Chappell Publishing.
The song is on the soundtrack of the 2001 German romantic comedy movie, Mostly Martha (which was remade as 'No Reservations' starring Catherine Zeta Jones).
The song was also in, but cut from the old movie 'you're never too young' but can be seen and heard on YouTube. The song was written in 1964 and the lyrics are:
(Dean) When you're too tense it's common sense to relax-ay-voo
(Dean) The more you earn the less you learn to relax-ay-voo
(Line) We French you'll find are more inclined to relax-ay-voo
(Both) Relax, relax, relax, relax-ay-voo
(Line) Your doctor bills they hold for pills to relax-ay-voo
(Line) You're in your prime so now's the time to relax-ay-voo
(Dean) The girls pursue those fellows who can relax-ay-voo
(Both) Relax, relax, relax, relax-ay-voo
(Dean) You're as tight as a drum
(Line) You're as gay as a tune
(Dean) You better loosen up chum
(Dean) Your drum is apt to snap and go boom boom
(Dean) And when you go they'll take your dough
(Line) Cause it's tax-ay-voo (D) relax-ay-voo
(Both) Get your sneakers and slacks and relax-ay-voo
(Line) I don't have to try to relax-ay-voo
(Dean) Chum I'm much to numb to relax-ay-voo
(Line) We French you'll find are more inclined to relax-ay-voo
(Both) Relax, relax, relax, relax-ay-voo
(Line) Bub, I take a tub to relax-ay-voo
(Dean) Bub, I sit and scrub to relax-ay-voo
(Line) The girls pursue those fellows who can relax-ay-voo
(Both) Relax, relax, relax, relax-ay-voo
(Line) You're as tight as a drum
(Dean) I was loose as a deuce
(Line) You're as gay as a tune
(Dean) I was light as a kite
(Line) Better loosen up chum
(Line) Your drum is apt to snap and go boom boom
(Line) And when you go they'll take your dough
(Dean) For a tax-ay-voo (L) relax-ay-voo
(Both) Get your sneakers and slacks and relax-ay-voo
(Both) Get your sneakers and slacks and relax-ay-voo
The song can be found on the album 'Hey, Brother, Pour the Wine' which I have seen for sale or download on Amazon.
