Coja La Pareja

Grab your partner
If you want to dance, buddy
Grab your partner

Put your hand on her waist
So she knows she can let go

To the rhythm of my guitar
The tiple and a bandola
Her body glides
Like it's riding a wave, but

If you want to dance, buddy
Grab your partner
Put your hand on her waist
So she knows she can let go

She’s swaying her hips
Spinning around the room
And she’s got a feeling
That’s pounding in her heart

To the beat of the trombones
Drums and a saxophone
Her body’s heating up
Like it’s a hot stove
Hot stove, hot stove

Fire! It’s burning me!
If you want to dance, buddy
Grab your partner
Lift your skirts, ladies
Grab your partner

If she doesn’t lift it, lift it for her
Wave of the tide
If you want to dance sweetly
Grab your partner

If you want to dance the tide, my friend
Wave of the tide
So you can see! So you can see!
Grab your partner

Grab her, grab her, grab her
Wave of the tide, don’t let go, grab her
Hold her, grab your partner
Grab her, wave of the tide
Dance with her, grab your partner

If you want to dance, buddy
Grab your partner
If you want to dance sweetly
Grab your partner

If you want to dance, buddy
Grab your partner
Grab her, don’t let go, grab her
Grab your partner
Grab, grab your partner
Grab your partner

Dance to the wave of the tide
Wave of the tide
Grab, grab your partner, buddy
Grab your partner

Grab your partner
Wave of the tide
Grab her, don’t let go

Don’t let go! Keep the rhythm!
Flavor of the Pacific!
E-e-e
Hey there

If you want to dance, buddy
Grab your partner
Grab, grab your partner
Grab your partner
The skinny guy and the lone dude are the same
Grab your partner
Emmanuel and Pambelé are the same
Grab your partner
Grab, grab your partner
Grab your partner
Grab, grab your partner
This dance is about to end.
