mel tormé & billy may - the rhumba jumps lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
there’s a harlem band way down in saint domingo
a very talented group
they kicked ’em off of a sloop
even though the band can’t understand the lingo
they’re never down in the dumps

[chorus]
’cause when the drummer boy thumps
the rhumba jumps

[post+chorus 1]
“dig us,” they holler the moment they landed
we got a rhumba the king once commanded
then they passed a tin
started in to play
the way they learned to play
back in the usa

[verse 2]
now they’re on the air in saint domingo
laughing it up
and i do declare, those harlem boys are revvin’ it up
folks in every land tune in on saint domingo
they’re never down in the dumps
[chorus]
’cause when the drummer boy thumps
the rhumba jumps

[post+chorus 2]
“cool it,” they holler, stay right in your villa
we’re on the air for a brand of vanilla
if you wanna dance, wanna dance in style
you better turn the dial
to saint domingo isle

[outro]
and when you hear “ay, ay”
you’ll know the reason why
the rhumba jumps
