Everybody loves to cha cha cha
Little children like to cha cha cha
They like to cha cha cha
They like to cha cha cha, oh
Everybody likes to cha cha cha

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

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, oh
My baby couldn't do the cha cha cha

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

Every song they played was the cha cha cha
Every song they played was the cha cha cha
'Tom Dooley', cha cha cha
'Tea for two', cha cha cha, oh
Every number 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, cha cha cha
Baby and back now, cha cha cha
That's right, turn now, cha cha cha
Alright let's cross now, oh, cha cha cha
I taught my baby how to cha cha cha

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

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

They do it
One two, cha cha cha, alright
One two, cha cha cha
And up now, alright back now
Alright baby let's cross now, cha cha cha
And turn now, cha cha cha
Cha cha cha
