Hey Mambo

Nobody knew who he really was

But they called him Mambo when he played

He became the king, king of Latin swing

And oh, the music that he made



Hey mambo

Did your mama teach you that

Hey mambo

Did she know what she begat



They used to come in their fancy threads

And he always turned them inside out

They would jam the floor, they would beg for more

And when they got it they would shout



Hey mambo

Did your mama teach you that

Hey mambo

Did she know what she begat

Take it away



Hey mambo

Did your mama teach you that

Hey mambo

Did she know what she begat

Take it away [Incomprehensible]

Do it again



Hey mambo, hey mambo

Hey mambo, hey mambo

Hey mambo
