| All Harlem’s got a brand new rhythm
|
| And it’s burning up the dance floors
|
| Because it’s so hot
|
| They took a little rhumba rhythm
|
| And they added boogie woogie
|
| And now look what they’ve got
|
| Rhumboogie, rhumboogie woogie
|
| It’s Harlem’s new creation
|
| With a Cuban syncopation
|
| It’s a killer
|
| Rhumboogie, rhumboogie woogie
|
| The native rhythm haunts you
|
| It’s barbaric and it taunts you
|
| It’s a killer
|
| Just plant your both feet on each side
|
| Let both your hips and shoulders glide
|
| Then throw your body back and ride
|
| There’s nothing like rhumboogie, rhumboogie woogie
|
| In Harlem or Havana
|
| You can kiss the old Savanna
|
| It’s a killer
|
| Rhumboogie, rhumboogie woogie
|
| It’s Harlem’s new creation
|
| With a Cuban syncopation
|
| It’s a killer
|
| Rhumboogie, rhumboogie woogie
|
| The native rhythm haunts you
|
| It’s barbaric and it taunts you
|
| It’s a killer
|
| Just plant your toes and both feet on the side
|
| Let both your hips and shoulders glide
|
| Then throw your body way back and ride
|
| Think a little of, the rhumba
|
| The boogie, the woogie
|
| Then put them, both all together
|
| You have rhumboogie
|
| Then all together sing rhumboogie
|
| Rhumboogie woogie, rhumboogie
|
| In Harlem or Havana
|
| It’ll kiss the old Savanna
|
| It’s a killer, it’s a killer this rhumboogie
|
| Rhumboogie, rhumboogie
|
| Rhumboogie woogie woogie woogie woogie
|
| Do do do do diddleyada do diddleyada do do dee
|
| There’s nothing like rhumboogie |
