What a misery, what a misery, what has happened to my little cat? What a misery, what a misery, I think she's gone mad Just when I got home, the gramophone was on And on the floor, the cat was dancing on her toes I stood with my hip in the doorway, I could hardly believe my eyes My cat is dancing cha-cha, that's crazy My cat is dancing cha-cha, nice and pretty and handsome She's wagging her belly, that's a lovely sight She doesn't need a partner, because she has four legs What a misery, what a misery, what will people think of my little cat? What a misery, what a misery, you can't help but laugh Cha-cha's rhythm has got her in its power Her bristles are waving up and down in rhythm With her hind legs she's dancing like a man With her front legs she's taking the lady's turn My cat is dancing cha-cha, that's crazy My cat is dancing cha-cha, nice and pretty and handsome She's wagging her belly, that's a lovely sight She doesn't need a partner, because she has four legs My cat is dancing cha-cha, that's crazy My cat is dancing cha-cha, nice and pretty and handsome She's wagging her belly, that's a lovely sight She doesn't need a partner, because she has four legs
