Lyrics
Took my baby to the hop last night
But to my surprise
When we got there, she hit me with the news
Right between the eyes
She said she couldn't do the cha cha cha
My baby couldn't do the cha cha cha
She couln't. No! She couldn't cha cha cha
My baby coul
I told her not to worry now
They'll play some other dance
But we sat there for an hour and a half
And we never got a chance
But every song they played was the cha cha cha
They played nothing but the cha cha cha
All night long, Even the midnight hour (All night)
Every number was a
I told her not to worry
There's still one thing we can do
Let me take you by your hand tonight
I'm gonna teach this dance to you
Come on baby (baby)
Taught my baby how to cha cha cha
That night, right there, right on the spot
Taught my baby how to cha cha cha
Kept on dancing on dancing for an hour or two
What do you think I see
We hadn't practiced for a time or two around
She was doing it better than me
You know my baby loves to cha cha cha (I know)
Ooohh
Yeah now
Every night
Every day
Taught my baby how to cha cha cha
Everybody loves to cha cha cha
Little children love to cha cha cha
Oh. Dadada Cha cha cha
Everybody loves to cha cha cha
Everybody loves to cha cha cha
Come on yourself
Come on
Come on (Come on)
Everybody loves to cha cha cha
Even you now
Oh, everyone
They love to cha cha cha
Every night
Every night
Everybody loves to cha cha cha (I)
Everyone. Oh
Sam Cooke himself in the midnight hour
Everyone loves to cha cha cha
Oh
Writer(s): Sam Cooke
