(wm) Jose Norman (I) film Cuban Pete by Desi Arnaz & The King Sisters (P) Desi Arnaz
They call him Cuban Pete. He’s the king of the rumba beat.
When he plays the maracas he goes chick, chicky bom, chick, chicky bom. Yes sir! He’s Cuban Pete.
He’s the craze of the native street
When he plays the maracas he goes chick, chicky bom, chick, chicky bom.

The señoritas, they sing,
And how they swing with this rumbero.
He’s very nice, so full of spice,
And to the meter they bring a happy ring, never a care-o!
Singing a song, all the day long.

Hey! Hey! For Cuban Pete. He’s the king of the rumba beat.
When he plays the maracas he goes chick, chicky bom, chick, chicky bom.
