| They'd play some other dance | |
| But we sat there for an hour and a half | |
| And we never got a chance | |
| Every song they played was the cha cha cha | |
| Every song they played was the cha cha cha | |

| 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 | |
