Cuba Rhumba

(Cy Coben)



If you're gonna cruise be sure that you'll choose Habana

Where the waters are green by that old Caribbean sea

If you stay awhile you'll soon like their style of rhythm

You'll learn the Cuba Rhumba the dance that everyone does.



And when you dance with the sweet senorita you meet in the moonlight

You'll forget way of prom and you'll never wanna come home

And in a tropical way you'll learn how to say manana

And the Cuba Rhumba will have you under it's spell.



--- Instrumental ---



While Spanish guitars play out under the stars in Cuba

While the dancers are swayin' as long as I'm playin' tune

And if you're tappin' your feet in the beat of that native music

The Cuba Rhumba has got you under its spell.



Beneath the tripical sky you'll be tryin' to step to the rhythm

And you'll shout all day in the way the native all do

Then you'll walk in a trance and just wanna dance to Rhumba

Yes, the Cuba Rhumba will have you under its spell...
