The Rhumba Boogie

Well, come all you children, 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 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 'til 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
 ♪
 Well, you step out together, then, you circle around
 Count one to 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 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
 While the guy responsible for leadin' the band
 He yells, "Do your 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
 ♪
 While Madame Lozonga was teachin' La Conga
 In her little cabana in old Habana
 The folks in old Mexico were doin' the tango
 And we were steppin' to the rhythm of an old guitar
 'Til 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 Rhumba Boogie done the Rhumba Cuban all style
