The Rhumba Jumps - 1989 Remastered

There's a Harlem band way down in San Domingo
 A very talented group
 They kicked them off of a sloop
 Even though the band can't understand their lingo
 They're never down in the dump
 'Cause when the drummer boy thumps
 The Rhumba jumps!
 "Hep, hep", they hollered the moment they landed
 "We've got a Rhumba the king once commanded!"
 Then they passed the gin and started in to play
 The way they learned to play back in the USA
 Now they're on the air in San Domingo, slappin' it up
 And the dudes declare those Harlem boys are, wrappin' it up
 Folks in every land tune in on San Domingo
 They're never down in the dumps
 'Cause when the drummer boy thumps
 The Rhumba jumps
 "Hep, hep", they hollered, stay right in your villa
 We're all the Admiral's brand of vanilla
 If you wanna dance and wanna dance in style
 You better turn your dial to San Domingo Isle
 And when you hear "Ay-ay, hi-dee-ay-ay"
 You know the reason why
 The Rhumba jumps
 Hello there, Texas, whatcha say?
 Whatcha doin' back here in the USA?
 Well, Santo Domingo just wouldn't let me be
 So, I ran out on my visa 'fore it ran out on me
 But when I ran I was no chump
 I shanghaied the drummer, the guy that made the Rhumba jump
