Just Another Rhumba 1937 'The Goldwyn Follies 1938'

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 07 Aug 2003

It happened to me
on a trip to The West Indies.
Oh, I'm all at sea
since that trip to The West Indies.
I'm jittery, I'm twittery,
I guess I'm done for,
I guess I'm through!
And it's something about which
there's nothing anyone can do.
It isn't love,
it isn't money trouble
It's a very funny trouble.

It's just another Rhumba,
but it certainly has my numbah,
so much so that I can't eat
or slumbah,
can you imagine anything dumbah?
Why did I have to plan
a vacation in Havana?
Why did I take that trip
that made me lose my grip?
Oh! that piece of music laid me low,
there it goes again!
Just another Rhumba!
Which I heard only last Septumbah!
I'm a wreck.
Why did I have to succumbah?
Can you imagine anything dumbah?
Why did I have to succumbah
to that rhumbah?

Ah! Ah!
I'm the cucaracha who just went blah
and gave up swing and hotcha,
Ah, ah, ah!
Ah, Ah!
At first it was divineah,
but it turned out
a Cuban Frankensteinah!
Ah, ah, ah!
It's got me by the throatah.
Oh what's the antidoteah?
Ah, ah, ah!
It brought me woe and strifeah,
it made me lose my wifeah,
it's the rumba
that blighted my life.
There it goes again!
Just another Rhumba
which has got me under it's thumbah,
so much so that I can't eat or slumbah.
Can you imagine anything dumbah?
Why did I have to succumba
to that rhumbah?
