Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A boy went back to Napoli
Because he missed the scenery
The native dancers and the charming songs
But wait a minute, something's wrong
[Verse 2]
Hey, hey
Now it's hey, mambo, mambo Italiano
Hey, mambo, mambo Italiano
Go, go, Joe, you mixed up Siciliano
All you Calabrese do the mambo like crazy
[Verse 3]
And hey, mambo, don't wanna tarantella
Hey, mambo, no more a mozzarella
Hey, mambo, hey, mambo Italiano
Try an enchilada with a fishy baccala
[Verse 4]
Hey, goomba, I love a how you dance rumba
But take some advice, paisano, learn how to mambo
If you're gonna be a square
You're never gonna go nowhere
[Verse 5]
Hey, mambo, mambo Italiano
Hey, mambo, hey, mambo Italiano
Go, go, Joe, shake like Giovano
Hello quesadicha, you get a happy in the feets-a
When you mambo Italiano
[Verse 6]
Shake, baby, shake
'Cause I love it when you take a me
[Verse 7]
Hey, chadrool, you don't a have to go to school
Just make a little beef, bambino, it's a like a vino
Kid you're good lookin'
But you don't know what's a cookin' till you
Hey (Hey) hey (Hey) hey (Hey)
Hey (Hey) hey (Hey) hey (Hey)
[Verse 8]
Shake, baby, shake
'Cause I love it when you take a me
By the pizzeria, thats a where I'm gonna be
Don't you tell your mama, mama gonna tell a papa
Theres a nothin' to it, come on, baby, let's do it
[Verse 9]
Hey, mambo, mambo Italiano
Hey, mambo, mambo Italiano
Go, go, Joe, you mixed up Siciliano
It's a so delish, everybody gonna apresha
Mambo Italiano
(Hey, mambo, hey, mambo)
Do the mambo
