Gather round,

You get a thrill in your feet

That'll never be beat

When you're doin' the rhumba!



Hit the ground!

You'll find that everything shakes,

What a difference it makes

When you're doin' the rhumba!



Don't you stop,

Spin around again like a top!



What a dance,

Begin learning it now,

You'll be happy somehow,

When you're doin' the rhumba!



Take a chance,

Down in the valley they say,

Darkies wiggle and sway,

When you're doin' the rhumba!



You just

Wanna click those castanets!



What a dance,

Gets you right on the spot,

Swing out and get hot

When you're doing the rhumba!
