They raved about Sloppy Joe The latin labarrio But Havana has a new sensation He's really a modest guy Although he's the hottest guy in Havana And here's what he has to say
They call me Cuban Pete I'm the king of the rhumba beat When I play the maracas 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
The senoritas, they sing and how they swing with this rumbero It's very nice, so full of spice And when they're dancin they bring a happy ring the maraquero Singin 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
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 Authur Murry You're now in Havana and there's always manyana
So senorita please Take it easy, do it with ease And you'll love it when you do the Chick chicky boom, chick chicky boom
