The bongos were beating and couples were meeting,
The night was a promise of romance,
So altho' the lad(girl) was shy,
When he(she) caught the ladies(fellow's) eye,
He(She) took courage and asked for a dance.

(Refrain:)
He:
Mu-cha-cha, tell me do you cha-cha?
She:
Me-cha-cha? Senor, si si, cha-cha.
He:
Now, cha-cha, Please show me how, cha-cha,
She:
I got-cha, you watch-a cha cha.
So, cha cha, away we go, cha cha,
He:
Hey, cha cha, is this the way, cha cha?
She:
Ay, cha cha, I'm feeling high, cha-cha.
He:
Oh such a hot-cha cha cha cha.
She:
Come a little closer, then a little closer,
Then you turn and walk away.
Both:
Ta ta tum ta ta ta ta ta tiga tiga
Tum ta ta ta ta ta tiga tiga
Tum ta ta ta ta ta tiga tiga
Tum ta ta ta ta ta tiga tiga,
He :
Come a little closer, then a little closer,
Don't go way my little mu-cha-cha,
The dance is through, cha cha,
She:
Now, cha cha, let's have some chow, cha cha.
He:
Then, cha cha, we'll dance again, cha cha,
She:
Closer and closer
He:
And closer and
Both:
Closer and closer and closer to you,
Mu-cha-cha.
