《The Rhumba Jumps》歌词

[00:00:09] There’s a Harlem band way down in San Domingo

[00:00:12] A very talented group

[00:00:16] They kicked them off of a sloop

[00:00:20] Even though the band can’t understand their lingo

[00:00:25] They’re never down in the dumps

[00:00:27] ′Cause when the drummer boy thumps

[00:00:32] The Rhumba jumps

[00:00:37] "Hep hep" they hollered

[00:00:38] The moment they landed

[00:00:40] "We‘ve got a Rhumba the king once commanded "

[00:00:42] Then they passed the gin

[00:00:44] And started in to play

[00:00:47] The way they learned to play

[00:00:50] Back in the USA

[00:00:56] Now they‘re on the air in San Domingo

[00:00:59] Slappin‘ it up

[00:01:02] And the dudes declare those Harlem boys are

[00:01:05] Wrappin‘ it up

[00:01:08] Folks in every land tune in on San Domingo

[00:01:12] They’re never down in the dumps

[00:01:15] ′Cause when the drummer boy thumps

[00:01:20] The Rhumba jumps

[00:01:25] "Hep hep" they hollered

[00:01:26] "Stay right in your villa

[00:01:27] We’re all the Admiral’s brand of vanilla

[00:01:30] If you wanna dance

[00:01:32] And wanna dance in style

[00:01:35] You better turn your dial

[00:01:37] To San Domingo Isle

[00:01:40] And when you hear "Ay-ay hi-dee-ay-ay"

[00:01:44] You know the reason why

[00:01:45] The Rhumba jumps "

[00:02:02] Hello there Texas whatcha say

[00:02:04] Whatcha doin‘ back here in the USA

[00:02:07] Well Santo Domingo just wouldn’t let me be

[00:02:10] So I ran out on my visa ′fore it ran out on me

[00:02:13] But when I ran I was no chump

[00:02:16] I shanghaied the drummer

[00:02:17] The guy that made the Rhumba jump
