Lyrics Cuban Pete - Desi Arnaz & Amanda Lane

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, 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 dancing, they bring a happy ring, the maraquero
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, señorita, 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 señorita please, take it easy, do it with ease
And you'll love it when you do the chick chicky boom, chick chicky boom
Chick, chick, chick, chick chicky boom, chick chicky boom, chick chicky boom
