The Dance of the Gorilla

* The word ”rumbera” (or rumbero) means rumba dancer. Rumba is a slow Cuban partner dance. The word can also mean partier or party animal.
 
[Verse 1]
I'm a rumbera*, wild rumbera
I dance my way, like primates do
I'm a rumbera, I'm cutting through the air
And if they wind me up there's no one to stop me
 
[Pre-chorus]
I'm a rumbera (Rumbera)
Rumbera (Rumbera)
Rumbera
Let's go dancing
 
[Chorus]
Hands up, hands down
And like gorillas, uh-uh-uh-uh, we’re all walking
Hands up, hands down
And like gorillas, uh-uh-uh-uh, we're all walking
 
[Verse 2]
I'm a rumbera and I come to cheer you up
To make your sorrows go to Mars
 
[Pre-chorus]
I'm a rumbera (Rumbera)
Rumbera (Rumbera)
Rumbera
Let's go dancing
 
[Chorus]
Hands up, hands down
And like gorillas, uh-uh-uh-uh, we're all walking
Hands up, hands down
And like the gorillas, uh-uh-uh-uh
 
[Bridge]
Everybody clap your hands!
Everybody clap your hands!
Everybody clap your hands!
Everybody clap your hands!
 
[Pre-chorus]
I'm a rumbera (Rumbera)
Rumbera (Rumbera)
Rumbera
Let's go dancing
 
I'm a rumbera (Rumbera)
Rumbera (Rumbera)
Rumbera
Let's go dancing
 
[Chorus]
Hands up, hands down
And like gorillas, uh-uh-uh-uh, we're all walking
Hands up, hands down
And like the gorillas, uh-uh-uh-uh, we're all walking
 
[Outro]
Hands up, hands down
And like the gorillas, uh-uh-uh-uh, we’re all walking
Hands up, hands down
And like the gorillas, uh-uh-uh-uh, we’re all walking
Hands up, hands down
And like the gorillas, uh-uh-uh-uh
