I told her not to worry
They'd play some other dance
But we sat there for an hour and a half
And we never got a chance, for

Every song they played was the cha cha cha

I told her not to worry there's only one thing we can do
Baby, if you let me take you by the hand
I'm gonna teach this dance to you

Then, I told her one two, cha cha cha
One two, cha cha cha
And up now, baby and back now
That's right, turn now, alright let's cross now
Ooo I taught my baby how to cha cha cha

We kept on dancing
And was I surprised, for you see
After we practiced it for a little while
She was doing it better than me

Now my baby loves to do the cha cha cha
Ooo she loves to do the cha cha cha
She likes her, she likes to cha cha cha
Ooo everybody likes to cha cha cha

One two, cha cha cha, alright

And up now, alright back now
Alright baby let's cross now and turn now
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, la ta ta ta la ta ta ta ta, cha cha cha cha cha cha cha
