[Barry:]
|
Nobody knew who he really was
|
But they called him Mambo when he played
|
|
[Kid Creole:]
|
He became the King
|
King of Latin Swing
|
|
[Both:]
|
And oh, the music that he made
|
Hey Mambo
|
Did your mama teach you that
|
Hey Mambo
|
Did she know what she begat
|
|
[Kid Creole:]
|
They used to come in their fancy threads
|
And he always turned them inside out
|
|
[Barry:]
|
They would jam the floor
|
|
[Both:]
|
They would beg for more
|
|
[Barry:]
|
And when they got it they would shout
|
|
[Both:]
|
Hey Mambo
|
Did your mama teach you that
|
Hey Mambo
|
Did she know what she begat
|
|
[Both:]
|
Take it away
|
Hey Mambo
|
Did your mama teach you that
|
Hey Mambo
|
Did she know what she begat
|
Take it away
|
Do it again
|
Hey Mambo
|
Hey Mambo
|
Hey Mambo
|
Hey Mambo
|
