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
Go go Joe
shake-a like a Gioviano
Hello quesadicha
you getta happy in the feets-a
when you Mambo Italiano
Shake-a baby shake-a
'cause I love-a
when you take-a me
Hey Jagool
You don't-a have to go to school
just make a little beef flambino
It's-a like-a vino
Kid you're good-lookin'
but you don't know
what's-a cookin' till you
Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey
Shake-a baby shake-a
'cause I love it when you take-a me
by the pizzeria down-a
where I'm gonna be-a
Don't ya tell your mama
Mama's gonna tell-a papa
There's-a nothin' to it
Come on baby let's-a do it
Hey Mambo Mambo Italiano
Hey Mambo Mambo Italiano
Go go Joe
you mixed up Sigiliano
It's-a so delish-a
everybody gonna preshi-ada
Mambo Italiano
Do the mambo
