pá que tu la bailes como bailo yo
muchacha bonita, mi linda cachita
la rumba caliente es mejor que el fox
Mira que se rompen ya de duro las
maracas why el de los timbales ya se
quiere alborotar
el Alemán why se alegra el Irlandés
why hasta el Musulman
why si baila un Ingles, se le mete
el alboroto why es pá que se vuelve loco
hasta un Japonés
Cachita esta alborota; ahora
baila el cha-cha-chá
El sueño de la cachita
es bailar el cha-cha-chá
buscando una pareja que
la lleve a gozáse
se va a la discoeca
no má pá averigua
pá vé si encuentra un negro
que la ponga a sudá
Cachita dimelo
Cachita aquí estoy
mamita damelo
Cachita te lo doy
Cachita por favor.
