[Verse 1]
[D][Bm][D][Bm][D][Bm][D]
All Harlem's got
a brand new rhythm
And it's [A]burning [D]up the dance floors
Because it's so hot

[D]They took a little rhumba rhythm
And they [A]added boogie woogie
And a [D]look what they've go

[Verse 3]
[D]
Rhumboogie
Rhumboogie woogie

Harlem's new creation
With a Cuban syncopation

It's a killer
[D][Bm]
[D]Rhumboogie
[Bm]Rhumboogie woogie[D]
The native rhythm haunts you
It's barbaric and it taunts you
It's a killer
[G]Just [D]plant your both feet on

[Verse 5]
each side
Let [Bb]both your [D]hips and shoulders glide
Then [A]throw your [D]body back and ride
[A]There's nothing like
[D]Rhumboogie Rhumboogie woogie

[Verse 6]
In Harlem or Havana
In Poughkeepsie [Bm]or Sa[D]vannah
It's a killer
[Bm][D][Bm]
