After telling THE CHERUBS & Pretzel their great grandma was a professional dancer and LOVED to tell the story about how in Tango Dancing (or just to co-exist as a couple) each has to learn to adapt.

It Takes Two to Tango Words & Music Robert Michael Turco © 2025
Sung by [Teddy and Pretzel] Background: [Cal & The Cherubs: Rely, Tess, and Maddy:]

[Vocalists Duet: Male Teddy and Female Pretzel]
It takes two to tango
That’s something that my mother always use to say
It takes two to tango
You can’t match up with a partner if they will not play
One goes high the other low They mirror each other’s moves
He twists She twirls She shakes her head, but he approves

[Vocalists Duet: Male Teddy and Female Pretzel]
It takes two to tango
We each see the world in our own peculiar ways
It takes two to tango
She likes pink and he shades of grey
He goes hard and she goes soft Bending over backwards for him
She slides He glides Moving to the other’s whims

[12 bar musical interlude TANGO music style they all dance to]

[bridge]
It's a dance you only dance when you have a subtle partner
It’s filled with love and romance it’s funny how it makes you stronger

[Chorus vocalists - Calliope and the Cherubs 3 females, 1 male]
It takes two to tango
That’s something that my mother always use to say
It takes two to tango
You can’t match up with a partner if they will not play

[Vocalists Duet: Male Teddy and Female Pretzel]
One goes high One goes low They mirror each other’s moves
He twists She twirls Shaking her head, but he approves

[Vocalists Duet: Male Teddy and Female Pretzel] It takes twooooo [vocalists 3 females, 1 male- Calliope and the Cherubs] (It takes twooooo)
[Vocalists Duet: Male Teddy and Female Pretzel] It takes twooooo [vocalists 3 females, 1 male- Calliope and the Cherubs] (It takes twooooo)
[Vocalists Duet: Male Teddy and Female Pretzel] It takes two to T-A-N-G-O
[All vocalists] Tangoooooooo
