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

They say don't go on Wolverton Mountain,
if you're looking for a wife.
'Cause Clifton Clowers has a pretty
young daughter,
he's mighty handy with a gun and a knife.
Her tender lips are sweeter than honey
And Wolverton Mountain protects her there.
The bears and birds tell Clifton Clowers
If a stranger should wander there.
All of my dreams are on Wolverton Mountain.
I want his daughter for my wife.
I'll take my chances and climb that mountain
Though Clilfton Clowers, he may take my life
Her tender lips ....
I'm going up on Wolverton Mountain,
It's too lonely downhere below.
It's just not right to hide his dayghter
From the one who loves her so.
Her tender lips ...
But I don't care about Clifton Clowers,
I'm gonna climb up on his mountain,
I'm gonna take the girl I love.
I don't care about Clifton Clowers,
I'm gonna climb up on his mountain,
I'm gonna take the girl I love.
(repeat to fade)
