Just Another Rhumba

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 tɾouble
It's a very funny tɾouble:

It's just another ɾhumba
But it certainly has my [A]numb-bah
So much so, that I can't eat or slum-bah
Can you [A7imagine anything dumb-bah?

Why did I have to [C7]plan a
Vacation [C7]in Havana?
Why did I take that tɾip
That made me lose my [A]grip?
Oh! That piece of music laid me low
There it goes again:

Just another ɾhumba
Which I heard only last Septum-bah
I'm a wreck, why did I have to [C7]succumb-bah
Can you [A7imagine anything dumb-bah?
Why did I have to [C7]succumb-bah
To that ɾhumba?

I'm the cucaracha, who just went blah
And gave up swinging ha-cha, ahah
At first it was [Am7]devine-ah
But it turned out a Cuban Frankenstein-ah

It's got [Fm7]me by the throat-ah!
Oh, what's the antidote-ah?
It brought me woe and [Bm]stɾife-ah
Oh, where's a gun or knife-ah?
It's the ɾhumba that blighted my [A]life
There it goes again

Just another ɾhumba
But it certainly has my [A]numb-bah
So much so, that I can't eat or slum-bah
Can you [A7imagine anything dumb-bah?
Why did I have to [C7]succumb-bah
To that ɾhumba?

There it goes again
Just another ɾhumba
But it certainly has my [A]numb-bah
So much so, that I can't eat or slum-bah
Can you [A7imagine anything dumb-bah?
Why did I have to [C7]succumb-bah
To that ɾhumba?
