Ella Fitzgerald Just Another Rhumba Lyrics

Just Another Rhumba Lyrics

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?
