Rhumboogie

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

{Oh, beat me daddy, eight to the bar}

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
