Ohhhhhhh, I was sweet and gentle
(He was sweet and gentle)
Kind of sentimental
(Kind of sentimental)
No one will deny it
(No one will deny it)
I was once so quiet
And then one magic night
I learned to do the cha, cha
(Cha, cha, cha, cha)
And now I'll never be the same
For I have turned into a dancing Cucaracha
(Cha, cha, cha, cha)
And my muchacha is to blame
How can I be gentle
Sweet and sentimental
While the cha, cha's playing
And my heart is swaying
I find that I am even dancing
When I'm walking
I'm haunted by that cha cha beat
I hear the rhythm start
Whenever we are talking
I do the cha, cha in my sleep
Instrumental Interlude
I was sweet and gentle
(He was sweet and gentle)
Kind of sentimental
(Kind of sentimental)
No one will deny it
(No one will deny it)
I was once so quiet
And then one magic night
I learned to do the cha cha
And now I'll never be the same
For I have turned into a dancing Cucaracha
(Cha, cha, cha, cha)
And my muchacha is to blame
Please be sweet and gentle
(Please be sweet and gentle)
Treat me sentimental
(Treat him sentimental)
For I'm tempermental
(Cha, cha, cha, cha)
When I cha cha with you
Cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha,
Cha, cha, cha

Well, buzz, buzz, buzz goes the bumble bee
Tweele, deedle, dee goes the bird
But the sound of your little voice, darling
Is the sweetest sound I've ever heard
I've seen the beauty of the red, red rose
Seen the beauty when the sky is blue
Seen the beauty of the evening sunset
But the beauty of you
Sweet as the honey from the honeycomb
Sweet are the grapes from the vine
But there's nothing as sweet as you, darling
And I hope someday you'll be mine
