Lyrics

A girl went back to Napoli Because she missed the scenery, The native dances and the charming songs. But wait a minute, something's wrong. Hey mambo, mambo Italiano. Hey mambo, mambo Italiano. Go, go, go, you mixed up Siciliano. All you Calabrese-a, do the mambo like-a crazy with a Hey mambo, don't wanna tarantella. Hey mambo, no more the mozzarella. Hey mambo, mambo Italiano. Try an enchilada with da fish-a-bacala. And then-a Hey goombah, I love-a how you dance the rumba, But take-a some advice Paisano, Learn how to mambo. If you gonna be a square you ain't-a gonna go nowhere-a, Hey mambo, mambo Italiano. Hey mambo, mambo Italiano. Go, go, Joe, shake like a Gioviano. Ho kess-a deech-a you get happy in the feets-a when you Mambo Italiano. Shake-a baby, shake-a, 'cause I love-a when you take-a me Mama say, "You stop-a or I'm gonna tell your papa." And then Hey jadrool, you don't-a have to go to school, Just make-a wit' the beat bambino. It's a like-a vino. Kid, you good-a-lookin' but you don't-a know what's cookin' till you Hey mambo, mambo Italiano. Hey mambo, mambo Italiano. Ho, ho, ho, you mixed up Siciliano. It's-a so delish'-a ev'rybody can capice-a how to Mambo Italiano. 'Ats nice! (Uhh!)
