The Rhumba Jumps (1989 Remastered) - Glenn Miller & His Orchestra

作词：Hoagy Carmichael/Johnny Mercer

作曲：Hoagy Carmichael/Johnny Mercer

There's a Harlem band way down in San Domingo

A very talented group

They kicked them off of a sloop

Even though the band can't understand their lingo

They're never down in the dumps

Cause when the drummer boy thumps

The Rhumba jumps

Hep hep they hollered

The moment they landed

We've got a Rhumba the king once commanded

Then they passed the gin

And started in to play

The way they learned to play

Back in the USA

Now they're on the air in San Domingo

Slappin' it up

And the dudes declare those Harlem boys are

Wrappin' it up

Folks in every land tune in on San Domingo

They're never down in the dumps

Cause when the drummer boy thumps

The Rhumba jumps

Hep hep they hollered

Stay right in your villa

We're all the Admiral's brand of vanilla

If you wanna dance

And wanna dance in style

You better turn your dial

To San Domingo Isle

And when you hear Ay-ay hi-dee-ay-ay

You know the reason why

The Rhumba jumps

Hello there Texas whatcha say

Whatcha doin back here in the USA

Well Santo Domingo just wouldn't let me be

So I ran out on my visa ′fore it ran out on me

But when I ran I was no chump

I shanghaied the drummer

The guy that made the Rhumba jump
