They call me Cuban Pete
I'm the King of the Rumba beat
When I play the morracas
I go chick-chicky-boom
Chick-chicky-boom
Yes, Sir, I'm Cuban Pete
I'm the craze of my native street
When I start to dance
Everything goes chick-chicky-boom
Chick-chicky-boom
There Senoritas they sing
And how they swing with the rumbero
It's very nice so full of spice
And when they dance and they bring a happy ring of vaqueros
Singing a song all the day long
So if you like the beat
Take a lesson from Cuban Pete
And I'll teach you to chick-chicky-boom
Chick-chicky-boom, chick-chicky-boom
Si, Senorita, I know that you will like the chicky boom chick
'Cause it's the dance of Latin romance
And Cuban Pete doesn't teach you
In a hurry like Arthur Murray
I come from Havannah and there's always manana
So Senorita
They call me Sally Sweet
I'm the Queen of Delancy Street
When I start to dance everything goes chick-chicky-boom
Chick-chicky-boo
Excuse me Mister Pete (RICKY : Yes Ma'am)
Have the Cubans a different beat
If they have will you teach me to chick
Chick-chicky-boom, chick-chicky-boom
Si, Senorita, I know that you will like the chicky boom chick
(LUCY : Yeah man)
It's very nice so full of spice
I place my hand on your hip and if you will just give me your hand
Then we shall try just you and I
