Rhumba Boogie lyrics

Well come all you children give a listen to me let me tell you bout a new boogie beat

There`s no hesitation it`s sweepin` the nation

It`s the Rhumba Boogie down the South American way

While Madame Lozonga was teachin` La Conga in her little cabana in old Havana

We were doing the charleston and Ballin` the Jack

Then that old black bottom till they started the Jitterbug rag

Then across the water came Cuban Pete he started the 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

[ ac.guitar ]

Well you step out together then you circle around

Count one two three then put your right foot down

Then you circle your lady as you swing and you sway

To the Rhumba Boogie in the South American way

Now the guy responsible for leadin` the band

Yells do you stuff it`s the best in the land

It`s the Rhumba Boogie let`s dance it a while

To the boogie woogie done the Rhumba Cuban all style

When that old piano it starts to ring everybody then 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

[ piano ]

While Madame Lozonga was teachin` La Conga in her little cabana in old Habana

The folks in old Mexico where doin` the tango

And we were steppin` to the rhythm of an old guitar

Till across the water came Cuban Pete he started to boogie to the Rhumba beat

It`s the Rhumba Boogie let`s dance it a while

To the boogie woogie done the Rhumba Cuban all style
