Writer Jesse Winchester I'm the same old girl that I used to be I haven't changed at all I got the same old walk and the same old talk That would run you up the wall The same old face and the same old smile and The same old baby blues And I'm still doing the rhumba, baby So I'm still the girl for you I'm still doing the rhumba baby I can't seem to quit If my mama catches us doing the rhumba Mama would just pitch a fit But I can't help myself, it's much bigger than me If I were you, I'd hang onto a rhumba girl like me There's lots of girls on the floor tonight With a lot slicker steps than me The boogaloo and the funky broadway Are such a pretty sight to see My step might be old fashioned But it's just fine with me I got a couple of rhumba steps You might like to see I'm still doing the rhumba baby I can't seem to quit If my mama catches us doing the rhumba Mama would just pitch a fit But I can't help myself, it's much bigger than me If I were you, I'd hang onto a rhumba girl like me
