The Wah-Watusi Lyrics

Wah-wah-a-watusi
See'mon and take a chance and get-a with this dance
Wah-wah-a-watusi
Oh baby, it's the dance made for romance (shoo-bop, shoo-bop, ahh)
Baby, baby, when you do the twist
Never, never do you get yourself kissed
'Cause you're always dancing far apart
Watusi girl is-a really smart
Wah-a-wah, wah-a-watusi
See'mon and take a chance and get-a with this dance (shoo-bop, shoo-bop, ahh)
Baby, when you do the fly, your arms are wasting waving in the sky
See'mon and hold me like a lover should
The watusi makes you feel so good
Wah-a-wah, wah-a-watusi
Oh baby, it's the dance made for romance
Yea! (Shoo-bop, shoo-bop, ahh)
Baby, baby, that's the way it goes
Nothing happens when you mash potatoes
I just gotta fall in love with you
Watusi is the dance to do
Wah-a-wah, wah-a-watusi
See'mon and take a chance and get-a with this dance
Wah, wah-a Watusi
Oh baby, it's the dance made for romance

The Wah-Watusi

This song was one of the many dance-craze songs of the early '60s. It was the follow-up to Dee Dee Sharp's dance-craze hit "Mashed Potato Time."

This was the Orlons' first national hit. Their two previous singles failed to chart.

There were three songs about the Watusi dance. This was the second song and biggest hit about the dance. The first was "The Watusi" (by the Vibrations, US #25), and the third was "El Watusi" (by Ray Barretto, US #17).
