Lyrics

All my baby wants to do is the mambo All my baby wants to do is the mambo Morning, noon and night time too It's the mambo He goes mambo rhythms, effects all the time He goes mambo rhythms, effects all the time 'Cause that mambo rhythm feels so fine He's neglecting our romance For the mambo He's neglecting our romance For the mambo He just loves that crazy dance Called the mambo Mambo baby, mambo baby Oh, mambo baby I love you so But me or that mambo has got to go The only thing he's thinking of Is the mambo When we should be making love It's the mambo But me or that mambo has got to go
