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
Hey, hey
Now it's hey Mambo, Mambo Italiano
Hey Mambo, Mambo Italiano
Go, go, Joe, you mixed up Sigiliano
All you Calabrese do the mambo like crazy
And hey Mambo, don't wanna tarantella
Hey Mambo, no more-a moozzarella
Hey Mambo, hey Mambo Italiano
Try an enchilada with a fish-a-barcalada
Hey goombah
I love-a how you dance rumba
But take-a some advice paisano
Learn how to mambo
If you're gonna be a square
You're never gonna go nowhere
Hey Mambo, Mambo Italiano
Hey Mambo, hey Mambo Italiano
Go, go, Joe, shake like a Gioviano
Hello quesadicha
You getta happy in the feets-a
When you Mambo Italiano
Shake-a baby, shake-a 'cause I love-a when you take-a me
Hey Jagool!
You don't-a have to go to school
Just make a little beef flambino
It's-a like-a vino
Kid you're good-lookin'
But you don't know what's a-cookin' 'til you
Hey (Hey), hey (Hey), hey (Hey), hey (Hey), hey (Hey), hey (Hey)
Shake-a baby, shake-a 'cause I love it when you take-a me
By the pizzeria, that's where I'm gonna be-a
Don't your tell your mama
Mama's gonna tell-a papa
There's-a nothin' to it
Come on, baby, let's-a do it
Hey Mambo, Mambo Italiano
Hey Mambo, Mambo Italiano
Go, go, Joe, you mixed up Sigiliano
It's-a so delish-a, everybody gonna preshi-ada
Mambo Italiano
(Hey Mambo, hey Mambo)
(Do the mambo)
