I learned that song somewhere, probably grade school, and as I recall the words you wrote were all there was to it. No, wait. We did two choruses, one where the boys said, "Chiquita is the one for me." Then the girls sang it again and said "Perico is the one for me." But be careful, because I'm not sure Perico is right. Make sure it's a name. |

However, because that journal is still under copyright, Google doesn't display all of it. I wasn't able to extract any more words than Apazo already posted. https://www.google.com/search?tbm=bks&hl=en&q=%22Chiquita+is+the+one+for+me%22 WorldCat might help you find it in a library near you: http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/2726046 |

We'll do a little dance together, Chiquita is the one for me We'll do a little dance together, Perico is the one for me that's all I can remember... the title can be Fiesta... not sure though. |
