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! |
