Composer(s): Hughie Prince; Don Raye
Performer(s): The Andrews Sisters;
and various other artists



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 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 
You can kiss the old Savanna
It's a killer

Oh, beat me daddy, eight-to-the-bar

Rhumboogie
Rhumboogie-woo-oogie
It's Harlem's new creation 
With a Cuban syncopation 
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 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 woogie
Then put them
Both all together
You have rhumboogie... 

Then all together sing rhumboogie
Rhumboogie-woogie
Rhumboogie
In Harlem or Havana 
It'll kiss the old 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!
