Here are the words Bill Bell sang on his Golden Crest recording.
Down in Havana there's a funny-looking booba
Who plays the rhumba on the tuba down in Cuba
Now any sap can sell an apple
but this chap would rather grapple
with his oompah oompah oompah
they prefer it to the boopa doopa doopa
They love the rhumba on the tuba down in Cuba!
It doesn't take him very long to get a tumble
When all the rhumba-lovers go into their rumble
Oh how I'd love to be his double
for without a bit of trouble
with his oompah oompah oompah
he can knock eleven ladies for a loopa
They love the rhumba on the tuba down in Cuba!
He's not a greenhorn
He plays a mean horn
a must-be-seen horn
oh he's a whiz
Now all Havana loves this funny-looking booba
Who plays the rhumba on the tuba down in Cuba
I can't believe it but they tell us
every peanut vendor's jealous
of his oompah oompah oompah
they prefer it to the boopa doopa doopa
They love the rhumba on the tuba down in Cuba!
