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 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 the fish a baccalà and
Hey cumpà, I love a-how you dance a rumba
But take some of advice paisano
Learn how to mambo
If you gonna be a square
You ain't a-gonna go nowhere
Hey, mambo! Mambo Italiano!
Hey, mambo! Mambo Italiano!
Go, go, Joe
Shake it like your Giovanno
Hello che si dice you getta happy in the feets
When you mambo Italiano
Shake, baby, shake 'cause I love a-when you take-a me
Mama say you stop-a or I'm gonna tell your papa
Hey, chadrule! You don't a-have to go to school
Just make a-wid da beat, bambino
It's a-like a vino
Kid, you good a-lookin' but you don't a-know what's cookin' 'til you...
Hey, mambo! Mambo Italiano!
Hey, mambo! Mambo Italiano!
Ho, ho, ho, you mixed up Siciliano
It's a so delische ev'rybody come capisce
How to mambo Italiano!
'At's nice!
(Uh!)
