[D] [E]

[B] [F#]
[B] I'm the same old girl that I used to be I haven't [G#] changed at all
I got the same old walk, same old talk that would [D#m] run you up the wall
[B] I got the same old face, same old smile, [G#] same old [F#] baby blues
I'm still doing the rhumba, [C#] baby, I'm still [F#] the girl for you
I'm still doing the rhumba, [B] baby, I [F#m] can't seem to quit
[F#] If my mama catches us doing the rhumba, [B] my mama would just a bit spit
[B] But I can't help myself, it's much bigger than [G#] me
If I were you, [B] I would hang on to a [F#] rhumba girl like me, yeah
[G#]
[D#m] [C#] [F#m] [G#]
[F#] [B] Well, [N] there's lots of girls on the floor tonight with a lot slicker steps than me
The [B] Buccaloo, the funky Broadway, such [F#m] pretty sight to see
[B] Steps might be old-fashioned, but that's just fine with [A] me
