Remember the nights i cried
you were doing that old cuban slide
All night I tried and tried
I could not master the cuban side.
R'member the night I started to weep?
under lights you did the 'creep'.
That night I could not sleep.
Oh lord how goes the creep?
Chorus:
AIy YI AIy Ya- I wanna dance but my feet won't let me
AIy YI YI AIy- I wanna dance would someone help me
AIy YI YI Ya- I wanna dance but my feet won't let me
AIy AIy Ya-
Last night I could not talk
On the street you did the Charring Cross walk
Up and down I swoop and stalk.
Only I can run, but I can't walk
Chorus
(Breakdown)
Remember the nights i cried
you were doing that old cuban slide
All night I tried and tried
I could not master the cuban side.
AIy YI AIy Ya- I wanna dance but my feet won't let me
AIy YI YI AIy- I wanna dance would someone help me
AIy YI YI Ya- I wanna dance but my feet won't let me
AIy AIy Ya-
Now Dance!
