"Doin' The Rumba" lyrics

Cab Calloway And His Orchestra Lyrics

"Doin' The Rumba"

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!
