Mambo Italiano

(Bob Merrill)



(A boy went back to Napoli, because he missed the scenery)

(The native dances and the charming songs, but wait a minute)

(somethings wrong, 'cause now it's...)



Hey mambo, mambo Italiano

Hey, hey, mambo mambo Italiano

Go, go, go, you mixed up Siciliano

All you Calabrese do the mambo like-a crazy with the.



Hey, mambo don't wanna tarantella

Hey, mambo no more mozzarella

Hey mambo, mambo Italiano

Try an enchilada with a fish baccala.



And then hey, gumba love how you dance the rumba

But take a some advice pisano learn how to mambo

If you're gonna be a square you ain't-a gonna go nowhere

Hey mambo, mambo Italiano

Hey, hey mambo, mambo Italiano

Go, go Joe shake like a tiavanna

E lo che se dice

You get happy in the feets-a when you mambo Italiano.



Hey, chadrool you don't-a have to go to the school

Just make it with a big bambino

It's like vino

Kid you good-a looking but you don't-a know what's cooking 'til you



Hey mambo, mambo Italiano

Hey, hey mambo, mambo Italiano

Ho, ho, ho, you mixed up Siciliano

E lo che se dice

You get happy in the feets-a when you mambo Italiano...
