The Rhumba Jumps Lyrics
by Mel Tormé & Billy May
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
'Cause when the drummer boy thumps
The rhumba jumps
"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
Now, they're on the air in Saint Domingo
Lappin' 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
'Cause when the drummer boy thumps
The rhumba jumps
"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
And when you hear, "Hi-hi"
You'll know the reason why
The rhumba jumps
