The rhumba boogie

Welcome all you children, give a listen to me
Let me tell you about a new boogie beatThere's no hesitation, and it's sweepin' the nationIt's the Rhumba Boogie done the South American way
While Madame Lazonga was teachin' La CongaIn her little cabana in old HavanaWe were doin' the Charleston and Ballin' the JackThen that old Black Bottom 'til they started that Jitterbug RagThen across the water came Cuban PeteHe started a boogie to the Rhumba beatIt'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
Then you circle your lady, as you swing and you sway
To the Rhumba Boogie in the South American way
When that old piano, it starts to ringEver'body then starts to sing
To the Rhumba Boogie, done the tropical styleIt's the Rhumba Boogie and they're doin' it all of the while
Well, the guy responsible for leadin' the band
He yells, Do your stuff it's the best in best in the landIt's the Rhumba Boogie, let's dance it awhile
To the Boogie Woogie done the Rhumba Cubana style
While Madame Lazonga was teachin' La CongaIn her little cabana in old HavanaThe folks in Old Mexico were doing the tango
And we were steppin' to the rhythm of an old guitar
Well across the water came Cuban PeteHe started a boogie to the Rhumba beatIt's the Rhumba Boogie, let's dance it awhile
To the Boogie Woogie done the Rhumba Cubana style
