       Chris Montez (born Ezekiel Christopher Montañez on January 17, 1943) is an American guitarist and vocalist, whose stylistic approach has ranged from rock & roll to pop standards and Latin music. His rock sound is exemplified in songs such as his 1962 hit "Let's Dance", which reached Nº 4 on the Billboard Hot 100. When his early music's popularity began to fade, he switched to a more traditional role as a popular singer of soft ballads, scoring hits with “The More I See You” and “Call Me" in 1966. He has also recorded in Latin styles. Over the intervening years, he has continued to work in all three modes.

           "Let's Dance" is a 1962 hit single by Chris Montez, written and produced by Jim Lee.

The stomp and the bird and wautusi too

I tell you there ain't a dance she doesn't know how to do

 

My baby loves to dance

But just with me

She shakes and shakes that thing

It's quite a sight to see

 

My baby loves to dance

She goes like this

Then shimmy's up so close

And thrills me with her kiss

 

The stomp and the bird and wautusi too

I tell you there ain't a dance she doesn't know how to do

 

My baby loves to dance

A lot like you

So come on, come on and dance

And show 'em what you can do

Come on, come on, come on and dance

 

The stomp and the bird and wautusi too

I tell you there ain't a dance she doesn't know how to do

 

My baby loves to dance

But just with me

She shakes and shakes that thing

It's quite a sight to see

 

My baby loves to dance

It looks so fine

So baby you better come on

And shake it one more time

 

The stomp and the bird and wautusi too

I tell you there ain't a dance she doesn't know how to do

My baby loves to dance.
