This song is available as an individual download

Charles and Mitch were playing catch 
When Bluebird called down from her branch: "STOP! 
Right here on this grassy patch
A giant egg's about to hatch!"
Imagine everyone's surprise
An ostrich hatched before their eyes!
She yawned and stretched and scratched her head, 
And the first words Baby Ostrich said (were:)

Teach me how to cha-cha-cha!
I want to learn how to cha-cha-cha! 
Teach me now to cha-cha-cha! 
So I can be your partner!

Charles said. "Cha-Cha! What is THAT?'
"It's a Latin Dance," the bluebird laughed. 
"One foot forward, one foot back,
Then, cha-cha-cha! You're right on track (let me)

Teach you how to cha-cha-cha 
Watch! One-two, cha-cha-cha! 
Pay attention, cha-cha-cha! 
Now you can be my partner!

Ostrich loved the dance so much
She had such grace, a magic touch!
But when the boys took up the beat
She cried, "Ouch! You're dancing on my feet!" (let me)

Teach you how to cha-cha-cha! 
All together, now, cha-cha-cha! 
I'll teach you how to cha-cha-cha 
So you can be my partner
