I'm the same old girl that I used to be

I haven't changed at all

I got the same old walk and the same old talk

That would run you up the wall

The same old face and the same old smile and

The same old baby blues

And I'm still doing the rhumba, baby

So I'm still the girl for you

I'm still doing the rhumba baby

I can't seem to quit

If my mama catches us doing the rhumba

Mama would just pitch a fit

But I can't help myself, it's much bigger than me

If I were you, I'd hang onto a rhumba girl like me

There's lots of girls on the floor tonight

With a lot slicker steps than me

The boogaloo and the funky broadway

Are such a pretty sight to see

My step might be old fashioned

But it's just fine with me

I got a couple of rhumba steps

You might like to see

I'm still doing the rhumba baby

I can't seem to quit

If my mama catches us doing the rhumba

Mama would just pitch a fit

But I can't help myself, it's much bigger than me

If I were you, I'd hang onto a rhumba girl like me
