When Yuba Plays The Rumba On The Tuba

[He's so talented]

His name was Yuba
He was homely, he was dumb
And so was Yuba
Just a big ambitious bum
He wouldn't do-a
So much as chew a piece of gum
So this is news to me

I understand-a
He's an overnight success
He's in demand-a
Why? I never could have guessed
Well, he found a big bass tuba
Then he bummed his way to Cuba
And the rest is history

Down in Havana there's a funny-looking boob-a
He plays the rhumba round the tuba down in Cuba
Oh when his sap'll sell an apple
But this chap'd rather grapple
With his oompah-oompah-oompah
They prefer it to the booba-doopa-doopa
They love the rhumba round the tuba down in Cuba

It doesn't take him very long to get a tumble
Oh, 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 loop-a
They love the rhumba round the tuba down in Cuba

He's not a green horn
He blows a mean horn
A must-be seen horn
Oh he's a riddle

Why, all Havana loves the sunny-lookin' boob-a
He plays the rhumba round 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 round the tuba down in Cuba
They love his oompah-oompah-oompah-oompah-oomp

He's not a green horn
He blows a mean horn
A must be seen horn
Oh he's a riddle

Why, all Havana loves the sunny-lookin' boob-a
Who plays the rhumba round the tuba down in Cuba
He's getting wealthy, strong and hearty
Thanks to plenty good Bacardi
And his oompah-oompah-oompah, oh he
Knocks the booba-doopa for a loop-ah
They love the rhumba round the tuba down in Cuba

They love his oompah-oompah-oompah-oompah
Oomp!
Oomp!
Oomp!!
