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-a 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-woo-oogie. It's Harlem's new creation With a Cuban syncopation - It's a killer.
Rhumboogie. Rhu-umboogie-woo-oogie. The native rhythm haunts you, It's barbaric and it taunts you - It's a killer.
Just plant you toes and both feet on the side, Let both your hips and shoulders glide, Then throw your body 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!
