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-a like a Gioviano.
|

|

|

|
but you don't know what's-a cookin' till you
|
