Hank Snow - The Rhumba Boogie lyrics

rate me

Welcome all you children, give a listen to me Let me tell you about a new boogie beat There's no hesitation, and it's sweepin' the nation It's the Rhumba Boogie done the South American way While Madame Lazonga was teachin' La Conga In her little cabana in old Havana We were doin' the Charleston and Ballin' the Jack Then that old Black Bottom 'til they started that Jitterbug Rag Then across the water came Cuban Pete He started a 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, 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 ring Ever'body 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 Well, the guy responsible for leadin' the band He yells, Do your stuff it's the best in best in the land It's the Rhumba Boogie, let's dance it awhile To the Boogie Woogie done the Rhumba Cubana style While Madame Lazonga was teachin' La Conga In her little cabana in old Havana The 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 Pete He started a boogie to the Rhumba beat It's the Rhumba Boogie, let's dance it awhile To the Boogie Woogie done the Rhumba Cubana style
