Rhumba Boogie - John Phillips
Written by：John Phillips
Well come all you children give a listen to me
Let me tell you 'bout a new Boogie beat
There's no hesitation
And a sweepin' the nation
It's the rhumba Boogie down the south American way
While Madame Lozonga was teachin' La Conga
In her little cabana down in old Havana
We were doing the Charleston
And Ballin' the Jack
And then that old black bottom
Started the Jitterbug rag
Well you step out together then you circle around
Count one two three 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
Till across the water came Cuban Pete
He started to boogie to the Rhumba beat
It's the Rhumba Boogie
Let's give it a while
While he plays the Boogie in the South American style
Well you step out together then you circle around
Count one two three put your right foot down
Then you circle your lady
As you swing you sway
To the Rhumba Boogie in the South American way
When that old piano it starts to ring
Everybody then starts to sing
The Rhumba Boogie
And the tropical style
It's the Rhumba Boogie and they're doin' it all of the while
Acha cham
