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
