Took my baby
to the hop last night
What to my surprise
When we got there
she hit me with the news
Right between the eyes
She said she couldn't
do the cha cha cha
My baby couldn't
do the cha cha cha
She couldn't cha
No she couldn't cha cha cha
My baby couldn't
do the cha cha cha
I told her not to worry now
They'd play some other dance
But we sat there for
an hour and a half
And we never got a chance
'Cause every song they played
was the cha cha cha
They played nothin'
but the cha cha cha
All night long
Into that midnight hour
Every number
was the cha cha cha
I told her not to worry
There's still one
thing we can do
Let me take you by
your hand tonight
I want to teach
this dance to you
I taught my baby how
Taught my baby
how to cha cha cha
That time right there
Right on the spot
Taught my baby
how to cha cha cha
We kept on dancin'
for an hour or two
What do you think I see
We hadn't practiced
for a time or two around
She was doin' it
better than me
You know my baby
loves the cha cha cha
Oh oh
Yeah now
Every night every day ooo
I taught my baby
how to cha cha cha
Everybody loves
the cha cha cha
Little children love
the cha cha cha
Oh oh
Da da da cha cha cha
Baby loves the cha cha cha
Everybody loves
the cha cha cha
Come on yourself
Come on come on now
Everybody loves
the cha cha cha
Even you now
Oh everyone
They love the cha cha cha
Every night every night
Everybody loves
the cha cha cha
