Tekst piosenki
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 were 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' awhile
To the boogie woogie done the all American style...
