Sam Cooke - Everybody Loves To Cha Cha Cha Lyrics






Everybody loves to cha cha cha
Little children loves to cha cha cha
They like to cha cha cha
They like to cha cha cha
Everybody loves to cha cha cha

I took my baby to the hop last night
And much to my surprise
When we got there she hit me with the news
Right between the eyes

Well, she said she could't do the cha cha cha
She said she couldn't do the cha cha cha
She couldn't cha cha cha
She couldn't cha cha cha
My baby couldn't do the cha cha cha

I told her not to worry
They'll play some other dance
But we sat there for an hour and a half
And we never got the chance

'Cause, every song they played was the cha cha cha
Every song that played was the cha cha cha
It was the cha cha cha
It was the cha cha cha
Every number was the cha cha cha

I told her not to worry
Theres only one thing we can do
Baby if you'll let me take you by the hand
I'm going to teach this dance to you

And then I taught her one, two cha cha cha
Three, four cha cha cha
And up now cha cha cha
Back now cha cha cha
Turn now cha cha cha
Back now cha cha cha
I taught my baby how to cha cha cha

We kept on dancing
And was I surprised, for you see
After we practiced for a little while
She was doing it better than me

Now, my baby loves to do the cha cha cha
She loves to do the cha cha cha
She loves to cha cha cha
She loves to cha cha cha
My baby loves to do the cha cha cha

Now here we go one, two cha cha cha
Three, four cha cha cha...

    One of the greatest singers ever. Sam Cooke was the consummate artiste, he had the voice, the class, the style and much much more. His music is timeless.

  43. L.... J....

    Sam Cooke. Wow

  44. D.... T....

    love this song very catchy

  45. m.... w....

    did you know hank ballard wrote the twist for chubby checkers look hat he started

    m.... w....

    what he started cant spell tonight

  46. E.... D....

    Never knew he was into Latin American dance.

    E.... D....

    Back in that time, I think it was mandatory for everyone to do something with a Latin flavor to it. That's what it seems like all these decades listening to them on oldies stations and on youtube, that all the singers and groups had at least song that was like this. Glad they did, though.

  47. m.... k....

    CATHY ANN: I can't Cha Cha Cha..but man I love this song....Sam Cooke was the man....

    m.... k....

    my grandma had to teach me how to do it how bad i was at cha chaing

    @Ziyah Mcgriff I had so much fun in my corner bar dancing with my best friend, we burned up the floor! She has passed now, no one where I live now likes to dance!

    m.... k....

    It's such a fun and easy dance! I danced my ass off back in the 80's! Loved it!

    m.... k....

    @Rhonda Boncutter it sounds like it was really amazing and I am sorry for your loss

  48. c.... ....

    My friends come to my house and I don't know. My mom tells them that I'm in my room. They hear the music. They come in. I'm dancing the cha cha cha. They'd be like, "how do you even move like that?" I'd be like, "I don't care who's watching! Imma dancin the cha cha cha!"

    c.... ....

    dont matter good music has no age.

    c.... ....

    Dance how you like! I loved that dance! I hope you have a great life! Dance keeps ya young!

  59. S.... ....

    You are officially my favorite person on YouTube. Creating a playlist of Sam Cooke's best...and here you are being awesome and sharing his soulful voice.

    S.... ....

    I could listen to Sam all day every day. First time I ever heard one of his songs I was five years old. "A Change is Gonna Come" came on the radio, and as I was listening to it I looked over at my mom and burst into tears and started asking why people were mean to each other and why couldn't everyone just get along. Five years old and I understood his soul just from his voice. He was a true gem.

    S.... ....

    did that really happen?

    S.... ....

    It did. I was a very sensitive kid.

    S.... ....

    ty i dont take subscibers just like to share thats what muic is for

    S.... ....

    ty sam cant be beat

  60. s.... ....

    Mummy and I danced to this :)  Such wonderful memories :D

    s.... ....

    @What? I song this song when I Was a child.

    s.... ....

    i was married with 2 kids

    s.... ....

    im 72 and you?

    s.... ....

    Not sure Roger who you were asking about their age.  My mother is 77 and I'm 46.

    s.... ....

    no prob, ty

  61. J.... P....

    God damn I got the chills within the last ten seconds of the song when he goes "woooahhh oooo ooo" so good

  62. v.... ....

    is there anyone who want to do the cha cha with with me

    v.... ....

    if you don't mind the Loin Cloth and The Battleaxe, NightWolf the Barbarian will dance with you!!!

    v.... ....

    +Robert Paulson lmao robert you will learn easily aka mrwarmth .

  63. S.... S....

    Wonderful song i wanna dance and dance again

  64. X.... Q....

    I wish they would make music like this and in 2008-2010 please I miss those kinds of music they were awesome and Thank you Sam Cooke for all your music and inspiration

  65. T.... ....

    I love this song and Sam Cooke is AWESOME. I just think he says little children like to cha cha kind of weird.

  66. E.... N....

    It kinda makes me laugh cuz after he complains that she cant then he finally realizes he could teach her

  67. A.... L....

    i really love this album. :) i spent weeks searching for it EVERYWHERE! i have it from the library now. i just really love Sam Cooke. every song on this cd makes me get up and dance

    A.... L....

    found mine in an old Tower Records

  68. l.... ....

    The music was the only good thing. Sam Cooke was around at a time of extreme civil unrest between blacks and whites and nobody had any rights and the Christian mafia had control over everyone's sex lives.

  69. A.... ....

    everybody like to cha-cha-cha!

  70. s.... ....

    On this day in 1959 {March 14th} Sam Cooke performed "Everybody Likes To Cha Cha Cha" on the ABC-TV program 'Dick Clark's Saturday Night Beech-Nut Show'...
    Five days earlier on March 9th it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; eventually it peaked at #31 and spent 13 weeks on the Top 100...
    It reached #2 on Billboard's Hot R&B Singles chart...
    R.I.P. Mr. Cooke {1931 - 1964} and Mr. Clark {1929 - 2012}...

  71. A.... ....

    its called cyberworld you can pick what era you like you will be just fine

  72. H.... a....

    i love the ch cha

  73. M.... ....

    Gone too soon! :(

  74. m.... ....

    The man who started so much.

  75. n.... ....

    Thanks to my mom's 8 Tracks and 45s, I grew up listening to Sam and he is one of two recording artists that there isn't a song, hit or not, that I didn't like. The other being Three Dog Night. You Send Me is one of THE songs that defines ultimate cool. IMO, his death was one of the most goddamndist shames in music history :(

  76. K.... ....

    Love this song I'm only 14 teen and I love his music R.I.P

  77. k.... ....

    too funny!
