Cuban Pete

[louise godin]

Hi !!

I'm desperately looking for the lyrics of the song called CUBAN PETE
from the movie The Mask. If anyone knows when I could find them
I would appreciate ...

Thanks !!!

[Erin Wilson]

you might recall that this is a song by Desi Arnaz that he sang
on "I Love Lucy"

From all the "I Love Lucy" pages and Jim Carrey pages i could
find, these seem the most accurate... but i'm still not too sure
about "the craze of my natives street"

CUBAN PETE/SALLY SWEET
Sung by Ricky Ricardo and Lucy Ricardo in "The Diet"

They call me Cuban Pete
I'm the king of the rhumba beat
When I play the maracas
I go chick-chicky-boom
Chick-Chicky-Boom
Yes, sir, I'm Cuban Pete
I'm the craze of my natives street
When I start to dance
everything goes chick-chicky-boom
chick-chicky-boom
There Senoritas they sing
and how they swing
with this sombrero
It's so very nice, so full of spice
and when they dance and they bring a happy ring of vaqueros
Singing a song all the day long
So if you like the beat take a lesson from Cuban Pete
and I'll teach you to chick-chicky-boom
Chick-chicky-boom chick-chicky-boom
Si, Senorita, I know that you will like the chicky boom chick
'cause it's the dance of latin romance
and Cuban Pete doesn't teach you
In a hurry like Arthur Murray
I come from Havana and there's always manana
So Senorita....
Oh no.....
(Lucy)
They call me Sally Sweet
I'm the Queen of Delancy Street
When I start to dance everything goes chick-chicky-boom
chick-chicky-boom
(Ricky: ay, ay, ay, ay)
Excuse me Mr. Pete (Ricky: yes ma'am)
Have the Cubans a different beat?
If they have the will you teach me to chick
chick-chicky-boom chick-chicky-boom
(Ricky)
Si, Senorita, I know that you will like the chicky-boom-chick
(Lucy: Yea, Man)
It's so very nice, so full of spice
I place my hand on your hip and if you will just give me your
hand than we
shall try just you and I
