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!
