Chihuahua
the golden orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Cha-cha-cha! I′m a cha-cha-cha Chihuahua,
I'm the smallest dog in town
I never have to walk
Because they carry me around

When I am a puppy,
I′m no bigger than a cup
And I get no bigger

Even when I am grown up!

Cha-cha-cha!

I'm a cha-cha-cha Chihuahua,
Everybody thinks I'm cute
I can fit into a handbag,
Or the pocket of a suit

I think I′m getting sleepy,
It′s siesta time, you know!
I'm a cha-cha-cha Chihuahua
And I come from Mexico!

Cha-cha-cha!

I′m a cha-cha-cha Chihuahua
And I'm not afraid to fight!
I bit a Great Dane one time
But he did not feel the bite

You think just because I′m tiny,
So tough I am not
Peppers they are tiny,
But, señor, they're pretty hot!

Cha-cha-cha!

I′m a cha-cha-cha Chihuahua
And I watch your house for you
Maybe I can't catch a burglar
But I'll catch a mouse or two!

I think I′m getting sleepy
It′s siesta time, you know.

I'm a cha-cha-cha Chihuahua
And I come from Mexico!


Overall Meaning

The Golden Orchestra's song "Chihuahua" is a lighthearted, playful tribute to the smallest dog breed in the world. The lyrics introduce the audience to the world of the Chihuahua: a world where they are popular enough to be carried around, even when they are grown up; a world where they are viewed as cute and entertaining due to their small size; and a world where they are sleep-loving but also fearless.


The first verse describes the physical characteristics of the Chihuahua. They are small, so small that they can be carried around, making them an excellent companion. Even when they grow up, they remain tiny. In the second verse, the lyrics explain the general attitude towards the Chihuahua. Due to their miniature nature, everybody thinks they are cute and charming. They also have the advantage of fitting into pockets or handbags, making them a trendy accessory.


The lyrics go on to describe how the Chihuahua is not afraid of a fight. They are fierce, even if they are rare. Stereotypes are thrown out the window as the little dog proves its worth in a battle with a Great Dane. The song ends with a nod to their original location, Mexico, where they were bred to be companion dogs. The lyrics indicate that while the Chihuahua might not be able to catch a burglar, it is an excellent mouser.
