Chris Montez (born Ezekiel Christopher Montanez 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”. When his early music’s popularity began to fade, he switched to a more traditional role as a popular singer of soft ballads, scoring a hit with “Call Me” in 1966. He has also recorded in Latin styles. Over the intervening years, he has continued to work in all three modes.

Lyrics
Say that you’ll let me have this dance
We’ll do the twist, the stomp, the mashed potato too
Any old dance that you wanna do
But let’s dance, well let’s dance
Hold me tight, don’t you let me go
We’ll do the twist, the stomp, the mashed potato too
Any old dance that you wanna do
But let’s dance, well let’s dance
Maybe you’ll let me walk you home
We’ll do the twist, the stomp, the mashed potato too
Any old dance that you wanna do
But let’s dance, well let’s dance
Yes, I know that this is the night
We’ll do the twist, the stomp, the mashed potato too
Any old dance that you wanna do
But let’s dance, well let’s dance
But let’s dance
But let’s dance
