Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Everybody loves to cha-cha-cha, mmm
Little children like to cha-cha-cha
They like to cha-cha-cha
They like to cha-cha-cha
Ooh, everybody likes to cha-cha-cha
[Verse 2]
Took my baby to the hop last night
And what to my surprise
When we got there, she hit me with the news
Right between the eyes, yeah
[Verse 3]
She said she couldn't do the cha-cha-cha
She said she couldn't do the cha-cha-cha
She couldn't (Cha-cha-cha)
No, she couldn't cha-cha-cha
Ooh, my baby couldn't do the cha-cha-cha
[Verse 4]
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 the chance
[Verse 5]
For every song they played was the cha-cha-cha
Every song that played was the cha-cha-cha
Tom Dooley (Cha-cha-cha)
Tea for Two cha-cha-cha
Ooh, every number was the cha-cha-cha
[Verse 6]
I told her not to worry
There's only one thing we can do
Baby, if you'll let me take you by the hand
I'm gonna teach this dance to you
[Verse 7]
Then I taught her one, two (Cha-cha-cha)
Ooh, one, two (Cha-cha-cha)
And up now (Cha-cha-cha)
Baby, and back now (Cha-cha-cha)
That's right, turn now (Cha-cha-cha)
Alright, let's cross now (Cha-cha-cha)
Ooh, I taught my baby how to cha-cha-cha
[Verse 8]
We kept on dancing
And was I surprised, for you see
After we practiced for a little while
She was doing it better than me
[Verse 9]
Now, my baby loves to do the cha-cha-cha
Ooh, she loves to do the cha-cha-cha
She likes to (Cha-cha-cha)
Ooh, she likes to cha-cha-cha
Ooh, everybody likes to cha-cha-cha
[Verse 10]
They do it one, two (Cha-cha-cha)
Alright, one, two (Cha-cha-cha)
And up now (Cha-cha-cha)
Alright, back now (Cha-cha-cha)
Alright, baby, let's cross now (Cha-cha-cha)
Mmm, and turn now (Cha-cha-cha)
Whoa, whoa (Cha-cha-cha, cha-cha-cha)
La-ta-ta, la-ta-ta-ta-ta (Cha-cha-cha, cha-cha-cha)
Cha-cha-cha-cha, cha-cha-cha-cha (Cha-cha-cha, cha-cha-cha)
