Rhum boogie

All Harlem's got a brand new rhythm

And it's burning up the dance floors

Because it's so hot

They took a little rhubarb rhythm

And they added boogie-boogie

And-a look what they've got

Rhum boogie

Rhum boogie-boogie

It's harlem's new creation

With a cuban syncopation

It's a killer

Rhum boogie

Rhum boogie-boogie

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

Rhum boogie

Rhum boogie-boogie

In Harlem or Havana

You can kiss the old savanna

It's a killer

Oh beat me daddy

Rhum boogie

Rhum boogie-boo-boogie

It's Harlem's new creation

With a Cuban syncopation

It's a killer

Rhum boogie

Rhuum boogie-boo-boogie

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 boogie

Then put them

Both all together

You have rhum boogie

Then all together sing rhum boogie

Rhum boogie-boogie

Rhum boogie

In Harlem or Havana

It'll kiss the old savanna

It's a killer

It's a killer this rhum boogie

Rhum boogie

Rhum boogie

Rhum boogie-boogie-boogie-boogie-boogie

Do-do-do-do-diddleyada-do-diddleyada-do-do-dee

There's nothing like rhum boogie
