Cha-cha-cha senor!
Si por favor!
Cha-cha-cha senor!
Si por favor!

Bandido, he's a man who moves with grace and brovado
They all know him from Peru to Tampico
As a shadow looming out of the sun
Bandido, see him riding on his white way palomino
He can break the bank in old Acapulco
And he sets the town on fire when he's done.

Bandido! Cha-cha-cha!
Bandido! Cha-cha-cha!
Bandido! Cha-cha-cha!
And when the dance is over he'll be reaching for his gun.
Bandido! Cha-cha-cha!
Bandido! Cha-cha-cha!
Bandido! Cha-cha-cha!

[Instrumental]

Bandido, he's the man who shot the bolt in Santiago
He spits bullets like a true desperado
He takes pleasure when the pressure is on
Bandido, are you tough enough to join his commando
Would you sacrifice your sweet life tomorrow,
Just to tangle with a man on the run

Bandido! Cha-cha-cha!
Bandido! Cha-cha-cha!
Bandido! Cha-cha-cha!
And when the dance is over he'll be reaching for his gun.
Bandido! Cha-cha-cha!
Bandido! Cha-cha-cha!
Bandido! Cha-cha-cha!

[Instrumental]

Cha-cha-cha senor!
Si por favor!
Cha-cha-cha senor!
Si por favor!
