(Chorus)
'Cause (G)I'm still doing the rhumba, baby, (G/B)(C) I can't seem to (G)quit
If my mama catches us doing the rhumba, (G/B)(C) mama would just (G)pitch a fit
(C) I can't (G)help myself, (G/B)(C)it's much bigger than (G)me
If I were you, I would (G/B)hang onto a (C)rhumba (D)man like (G)me
Well there's (G)lots of guys in this crowd tonight with a (G/B)(C)lot of slicker (D)steps than (G)me
They do the (C)fins to the left, fins to the right for ev-(C/E)ery-(F)one (F#)can (G)see
Now my (C)step might be old fashioned, but that's (C/E)al-(F)right (F#)with (G)me
'Cause I got a couple of (C)rhumba steps that you might (D)like to (G)see
(Chorus)
'Cause (G)I'm still doing the rhumba, baby, (G/B)(C) I can't seem to (G)quit
If my mama catches us doing the rhumba, (G/B)(C) mama would just (G)pitch a fit
(C)I can't (G)help myself, (G/B)(C)it's much bigger than (G)me

Now (G)I don't lie, I'm the same old guy, (G/B)(C) I haven't (D)changed at (G)all
I got the (C)same old promenade, the same old talk that could run (C/E)you (F)up (F#)the (G)wall
I got the (C)same old face, I got the same old smile, I got the same (C/E)old (F)ba-(F#)by (G)blues
Hey, I'm still doing the (C)rhumba, baby, I'm still (C#)the (D)man for (G)you
