All Harlem's got a brand new rhythm
And it's burning up the dance floors
Because it's so hot

took They 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
