Well come all you children give a listen to me let me tell you bout a new boogie beat
There's no hesitation 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 Habana
The folks in old Mexico where doin' the tango
And we were steppin' to the rhythm of an old guitar
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
(It's the Rhumba Boogie down the South American way)
When that old piano starts to beat 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
Well the guy responsible for leadin' the band
He yells do you stuff it's the best in the land
It's the Rhumba Boogie let's dancin' a while
To the boogie woogie done the all American style
