| 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.
|
| 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.
|
| 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 to cha, cha, cha.
|
| We kept on dancing for an hour or two, what do you think I’d see?
|
| We hadn’t practiced for a time or two around, she was doing it better than me.
|
| You know my baby loves to cha, cha, cha.
|
| Everybody loves to cha, cha, cha. |
| Little children love to cha, cha, cha.
|
| Everybody loves to cha, cha, cha. |
| Sam Cooke himself in the midnight hour.
|
| Everybody loves to cha, cha, cha. |
