(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
