I was once so gentle (She was sweet and gentle)
Kind of sentimental (Kind of sentimental)
No one will deny it (No one will deny it)
I was once so quiet, and then
One magic night I learned to do the Cha Cha
(Cha cha cha, cha cha cha)
And now I'll never be the same
For I have turned into a dancing cucaracha
(Cha cha cha, cha cha cha)
And my muchacho is to blame
How can I be gentle (How can he be gentle)
Sweet and sentimental (Sweet and sentimental)
While the Cha Cha's playing (While the Cha Cha's playing)
And my heart is swaying
I find that I am even dancing when I'm walking
(Cha cha cha, cha cha cha)
I'm haunted by that Cha Cha beat
I hear the rhythm start whenever we are talking
(Cha cha cha, cha cha cha)
I do the Cha Cha in my sleep
Quien me lo dijo al revez
Me lo dijo Adela (Me lo dijo Adela)
Me lo dijo Adela (Me lo dijo Adela)
Me lo dijo Adela (Me lo dijo Adela)
Me lo dijo Adela
How can I be gentle (How can I be gentle)
Sweet and sentimental (Sweet and sentimental)
While the Cha Cha's playing
And my heart is swaying
I find that I am even dancing when I'm walking
I'm haunted by the Cha Cha beat
I hear the rhythm start whenever we are talking
I do the Cha Cha in my sleep
Please be sweet and gentle (I'll be sweet and gentle)
Treat me sentimental (Treat you sentimental)
For I'm temperamental when I Cha Cha with you
When I Cha Cha with you
When I Cha Cha with you
Cha cha cha
