Miami Beach Rhumba

I started out to go to Cuba

Soon I was at Miami Beach

There, not so very far from Cuba

Oh, what a rhumba they teach

Palm trees are whispering, "Yo te quiero"

What could I do but stay awhile

I met a Cuban caballero

We danced in true latin style

So I never got to Cuba (Cuba)

But I got all its atmosphere (to-ro-ro-ro-ro-ro)

Why even Yuba and his tuba (tuba)

They played a night right here

I'll save Havana for mañana

Meanwhile, I have heaven in my reach

I found the charm of old Havana

In a rhumba at Miami Beach
