Mambo Italiano lyrics

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)
