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..... Oh no.....
(LUCY) They call me Sally Sweet I'm the Queen of Delancy Street When I start to dance everything goes chick-chicky-boom Chick-chicky-boom
(RICKY : Ay ay ay ay ay ay)
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
(RICKY) 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
