Little children like to cha cha cha
 They like to cha cha cha, they like to cha cha cha
 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
 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 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
 "Tom Dooley", cha cha cha, "Tea For Two", cha cha cha
 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, baby and back now
 That's right, turn now, alright let's cross now
 I taught my baby how to cha cha cha

 We kept on dancing
 And was I surprised, for you see
 After we practiced it for a little while
 She was doing it better than me

 Now my baby loves to do the cha cha cha
 She loves to do the cha cha cha
 She likes her, she likes to cha cha cha
 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 and turn now
 Whoa-oh-oh-oh
