Mr. Mambo (repeat)
|
|
I've been waiting for the weekend
|
To go out and have some fun
|
Well the stars shine just like sequins
|
And my heart beats like a machine gun
|
All my friends all need to party
|
Most of them are on the floor
|
Well I feel like I'm in heaven
|
As that boy walks through the door
|
|
Ooh I hope he notices
|
And when he looks me in the eye
|
Gotta have a beat now
|
That's why I'm countin' on you
|
|
Please Mr. Mambo
|
Strike up the combo
|
And let the music sway
|
Please Mr. Mambo
|
Just one more song now
|
So we can shake the night away
|
|
Here he comes so clean and ready
|
As he's rockin' to the beat
|
As he gets closer I'm breathin' heavy
|
Lookin' down at my own feet
|
An in a second he's right before me
|
Askin' me for a dance
|
I look up slowly, feelin' the glory
|
As he takes me by the hand
|
|
Ooh I wanna feel the rhythm
|
Ooh I've gotta feel the groove now
|
I know it's your decision
|
That's why I'm countin' on you
|
|
Please Mr. Mambo
|
Just on sambo
|
And let the music sway
|
Please Mr. Mambo
|
Just one more song so
|
We can swing the night away
|
|
|
Like it was Mardi Gras Night at the mall and everyone who was anybody was there.
|
There was some kind of like Limbo contest.
|
Oh no, it was Mr. Natural Brazil, you know, no steroids.
|
Oh and then like this gorgeous guy come up and asked me to dance.
|
Well like I got so nervous I split my diet soft drink on him.
|
Well that kind of bummed the evening out for us.
|
And just as I was trying to dry him for off, the music started.
|
Like I had never heard this type of music before.
|
I had no experience with this strange beat.
|
It sounded like they stole it from like the "I Love Lucy" show.
|
And then like this guy came out.
|
He was like so for sure, for sure.
|
He had like wing tip shoes on and like this funny little red hat on.
|
Like oh wow, that was the night Mr. Mambo changed my life.
|
|
Mr. Mambo (repeat and fade with following)
|
Please Mr. Mambo
|
Strike up the combo
|
And let this music sway
|
Please Mr. Mambo
|
Just one more song now
|
So we can dance the night away
|
Please Mr. Mambo
|
Strike up the combo
|
So we can shake the night away
|
