Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All my baby wants to do is the mambo
All my baby wants to do is the mambo
[Verse 2]
Morning, noon and night time too, it's the mambo
[Verse 3]
He goes
All the time
He goes
All the time
'Cause that mambo rhythm feels so fine
[Verse 4]
He's neglecting our romance for he mambo
He's neglecting our romance for he mambo
He just loves that crazy dance called the mambo
[Verse 5]
Mambo baby
Mambo baby
Oh mambo baby, I love you so
But me or that mambo has got to go
[Verse 6]
Oh mambo baby
Mambo baby
Mambo baby, I love you so
But me or that mambo has got to go
[Verse 7]
He goes
All the time
He goes
All the time
'Cause that mambo rhythm feels so fine
[Verse 8]
The only thing he is thinking about is the mambo
When we should be making love it's the mambo
But me or that mambo has got to go
But me or that mambo has got to go
But me or that mambo has got to go
