Hear the music whisper,
echoes of romance
Cuddle on my shoulder,
hold me while we dance
In a moment tender,
now the spell is cast
Maybe you'd surrender,
but you move too fast
Take it easy, ta -ta -ta
Take it easy, ta -ta -ta
Don't you know it's more romantic
when a dance is slow?
Take it easy, ta -ta -ta
Take it easy, ta -ta -ta
What's the good of feeling high
when all the lights are low?
Take it easy, ta -ta -ta
Take it easy, ta -ta -ta
When I'm in a mood that's dreamy,
must you cha -cha -cha?
Take it easy, cha -cha -cha,
take it easy, cha -cha -cha
Don't forget that I'm your partner,
not a traffic cop
Take your time, take your time,
cha -cha with ease
Take your time, take your time,
slow if you please
Take it easy, take it easy
Don't you know it's more
romantic when I dance
Take it easy, cha -cha -cha,
take it easy, cha -cha -cha
What's the good of feeling high
when all the lights are low?
Take it easy, cha -cha -cha,
take it easy, -cha -cha
We've got lots of time ahead of us,
the night is young
Take it easy, cha -cha -cha,
take it easy, cha -cha -cha
Don't you know the music
should be suede instead of swung?
Take your time, take your time,
cha -cha with ease
Take your time, take your time,
slow if you please
Take it easy, boys.
