Welcome all you children, give a listen to me
Let me tell you 'bout a new kind of boogie beat
There's no hesitation and it's sweepin' the nation
It's the rhumba boogie done the South American way
When Madame La Zonga was a-teaching the conga
In her little old cabana down in old Havana
We were doing the Charleston and ballin' the jack
And then the old black bottom till they started the jitterbug rag
When across the water came Cuban Pete
With a new kind of boogie with a rhumba beat
It's the rhumba boogie, let's give it a whirl
While he plays the boogie in the South American style, yeah
ย
Well, we step out together then you circle around
You count a-one, two, three, put your right foot down
And you circle your lady and you swing and sway
To the lovin' rhumba boogie in the South American way
Now the old piano starts to ring
Everybody starts to dance and sing
To the rhumba boogie done the tropical style
Well, it's the rhumba boogie and they're doing it all the while
While Madame La Zonga was a-teaching the conga
In her little old cabana down in old Havana
Well, the folks in old Mexico were doing the tango
And we were steppin' to the rhythm of an old guitar
Till across the water came Cuban Pete
With a new kind of boogie with a rhumba beat
It's the rhumba boogie, let's dance it a while
To the rhumba boogie done South American style
