Lyrics of Just another rhumba

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 numb-bah
So much so, that i can't eat or slum-bah
Can you imagine anything dumb-bah?

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 septum-bah
I'm a wreck, why did i have to succumb-bah
Can you imagine anything dumb-bah?
Why did i have to succumb-bah
To that rhumba?

Ahah, i'm the cucaracha, who just went blah
And gave up swinging ha-cha, ahah
Ahah, at first it was devine-ah
But it turned out a cuban frankenstein-ah

Ahah, it's got me by the throat-ah!
Oh, what's the antidote-ah?
Ahah, it brought me woe and strife-ah
Oh, where's a gun or knife-ah?
It's the rhumba that blighted my life
There it goes again:

Just another rhumba
But it certainly has my numb-bah
So much so, that i can't eat or slum-bah
Can you imagine anything dumb-bah?
Why did i have to succumb-bah
To that rhumba?

(instrumental break)

There it goes again:

Just another rhumba
But it certainly has my numb-bah
So much so, that i can't eat or slum-bah
Can you imagine anything dumb-bah?
Why did i have to succumb-bah
To that rhumba?
