[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
My baby couldn't do the cha cha cha
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
Every number was the cha cha cha
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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, cha cha cha
I taught my baby how to cha cha cha
[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
Now my baby loves to do the cha cha cha
She loves to do the cha cha cha
She likes her cha cha cha, she likes to cha cha cha
Everybody likes to cha cha cha
[Chorus]
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
And turn now cha cha cha, whoah
[Outro]
Cha cha cha
Cha cha cha
Cha cha cha
