We don't know the Java
We don't know the Cha-cha
When we do the Mambo
We tangle our nougats
The Tango, it's very beautiful
But we don't know the steps
To wet our shirts
We have an extra plan! Hop there!

We don't know the Java
We don't know the Cha-cha
When we do the Mambo
We tangle our nougats
The Tango, it's very beautiful
But we don't know the steps
To wet our shirts
We have an extra plan!
{It makes} Hop there!

The Bamba doesn't fly
Oh, it's not too much of a party
The Rumba is narbo,
But we don't know it
We wiggle the top,
We shake the bottom
It's more beautiful than sorry,
Yes, but there are no steps
It makes {Hop there!}
Again.. {Hop there!}.

It makes fingers snap,
It's truer than the Ska
Not a single step too much:
It's called the Sampa
The Sampa is nice
And it's worth the Samba
It's danced solo
Or it's danced in heaps
It makes {Hop there! Hop there!}

{Again...} We don't know the Java
We don't know the Cha-cha. {Hop there!}
When we do the Mambo,
We tangle our nougats. {Hop there!}
{Nice} The Tango, it's very beautiful
But we don't know the steps. {It's the sampa. Hop there!}
{Better than the Jerk} To wet our shirts,
We have an extra plan! {More swing than Jazz} Hop there!

The Bamba doesn't fly
Oh, it's not too much of a party. {The sampa is nice. Hop there!}
{There are no steps!} The Rumba is narbo,
But we don't know it
{The Boogie-Woogie is less pretty. Hop there!} We wiggle the top,
We shake the bottom
{Better than in Saint-Tropez - hop there} It's more beautiful than sorry
Yes, but there are no steps. {More 'in' than the Woollie-Goollie. Hop there!}

{It's the sampa} It makes fingers snap,
It's truer than the Ska. {The sampa is nice. Hop there!}
Not a single step too much,
It's called the Sampa.
