Rhumba Boogie

Rhumba Boogie
Rhumba Boogie

Welcome all you children and give a listen to me
Let me tell you 'bout a new boogie beat
There's no hesitation and it's sweepin' the nation
It's the Rhumba Boogie down the South American Way

While Madame Lazonga was teachin' La Conga
In her little cabana in old Havana
We were doin' the Charleston and Ballin' the Jack
And then that old Black Bottom 'til they started that Jitterbug Rag

Rhumba Boogie
Rhumba Boogie

Then across the water came Cuban Pete
He started a boogie to the Rhumba beat
It's the Rhumba Boogie let's give it a whirl
While he plays the boogie in the South American style

Well, you step out together then you circle around
Count one, two, three, then put your right foot down
You circle your lady, as you swing and you sway
Do the Rhumba Boogie in the South American way

When that old piano, starts to ring
Everybody starts to sing
To the Rhumba Boogie, done the tropical style
It's the Rhumba Boogie and they're doin' it all of the while

Rhumba Boogie, Rhumba Boogie
Rhumba Boogie, Rhumba Boogie
