They call me Cuban Pete
I'm the king of of 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 natives street
When I start to dance everything goes chick-chicky boom chick-chicky boom
The Senoritas they sing and how they swing with this sombrero
It's so very nice, so full of spice
And when they dance they bring a happy ring of vaqueros
Singing a song all 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 Havana and theres always manana so Senorita.... Oh no...

Lucille Ball (Lucy Ricardo):
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
Excuse me Mr.Pete

Dezi Arnez (Ricky Ricardo):
Yes Ma'am

Lucille Ball (Lucy Ricardo):
Have the Cubans a different beat?
If they have will you teach me to chick chick-chicky boom chick-chicky boom

Dezi Arnez (Ricky Ricardo):
Si, Senorita I know you will like the chicky-boom-chick (yea, man)
It's so 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!
