Just Another Rhumba Lyrics - Ella Fitzgerald

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?
