Lyrics

[Verse] 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 [Chorus] It's just another rhumba But it certainly has my num-bah So much so that I can't eat or slum-bah Can you imagine anything dum-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 succum-bah? Can you imagine anything dum-bah? Why did I have to succum-bah To that rhumba? [Bridge] Ah, I'm the cucaracha Who just went blah And gave up swing and hot-cha Ah, ah, at first it was divine-ah But it turned out a Cuban Frankenstein-ah Ah, it's got me by the throat-ah Oh, what's the antidote-ah? Ah, it brought me woe and strife-ah Oh, where's a gun or knife-ah? It's the rhumba that blighted my life [Chorus] There it goes again Just another rhumba But it certainly has my num-bah So much so that I can't eat or slum-bah Can you imagine anything dum-bah? Why did I have to succum-bah To that rhumba? [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] There it goes again Just another rhumba But it certainly has my num-bah So much so that I can't eat or slum-bah Can you imagine anything dum-bah? Why did I have to succum-bah To that rhumba?
