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 us and chiliano
All you Calabrese do the mambo like 'a crazy and a...
Hey mambo, don't wanna tarantella
Hey mambo, no more moozzarella
Hey mambo, hey mambo Italiano, try an enchilada
With the fish baccala and a...
Hey goomba, I love a-how ya dance rumba
But take some advice paisano, and learn how to mambo
If you're gonna be a square,
Ya ain't a-gonna go anywhere
Hey mambo, mambo Italiano,
Hey mambo, hey mambo Italiano
Go, go Joe, shake-a like a Giovanno
E lo che se dice, you get happy in the feets a-when ya...
Mambo Italiano...
Shake it, baby shake it
'Cause I love the way you take-a me-a
Hey chadrool, you don't-a have to go to school
Just make it with a big bambino
It's-a like vino
Kid you good looking, but you don't-a know what's cooking 'til you
Hey, (hey) hey, (hey), hey, (hey)
Hey, (hey) hey, (hey), hey, (hey)
Shake it, baby shake it
'Cause I love when you take'a me by the pizzaria
That's-a where I'm-a gonna be-a
Don't 'cha tell your Mama, Mama's gonna tell-a Papa
There's-a nothing to it
'Cause-a baby let's do it
Hey mambo, mambo Italiano
Hey mambo, mambo Italiano
Go, go Joe, you mixed us and chiliano
It's so delish, nobody's gonna teach ya how to
Mambo Italiano
(Hey mambo, hey mambo)
(Hey mambo, hey mambo)
