Andrew Sisters - Rhumboogie lyrics

(Hughie Prince, Don Raye)

All Harlem's got a brand new rhythm

And it's burning up the dance halls

Because it's so hot

They took 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

In Pokipsy or Savanna

It's a killer

Oh, beat me daddy

But don't leave me

Rhumboogie

Rhumboogie-woogie

In Harlem or Havana

In Pokipsy or Savanna

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 each side

Let both your hips and shoulders glide

Just throw your body way 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

In Pokipsy or 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
