My Dancing Friends

I’m Charlie the Chihuahua 

I dance the cha cha cha 

And Id like to introduce you 

To my many dancing friends 

 

First theres Fred, the friendly Foxhound. His foxtrot is quite hectic
Then Sam the Staffy, his Square Dance is exact and geometric
Pippadee the Poodle has a passion for the polka
Meg the Maltese Shih Tzu does a marvellous mazurka
Bob the Beagle breakdances, hes a fan of hip hop
Liz the Labradoodle has a Lindy Hop thats tip top
Tinkerbell the Terrier is tremendous at the tango
Her tarantella’s terrific, and so is her fandango
Sun the Sussex Spaniel is a star at dancing zumba
And youll applaud Zac Schnoodle and his scintillating samba
Shahrazad the Schnauzer likes to shimmy and to rhumba
Bill the Boxer dances ballet in a natty little number
Pam the Pointers on her tip toes, her Arabesque is like no other
Harriet the Harrier does the hitch-hike with her mother
Col the Collie leads the conga, Wes the Whippet is a waltzer
Marvin the massive Mastiff is a masterful moonwalker

I’m Charlie the Chihuahua
If you had to choose youd pick me
My cha cha chas so wonderful
One day Ill be on Strictly
