A girl went back to Napoli
Because she missed the scenery
The native dances and the charming songs
But wait a minute, something's wrong
Hey, mambo! Mambo italiano!
Hey, mambo! Mambo italiano!
Go, go, go you mixed up siciliano
All you calabrese do the mambo like a crazy with a
Hey mambo, don't wanna tarantela
Hey mambo, no more a mozzarella
Hey mambo! Mambo italiano!
Try an enchilada with da fishy baccala and a
Hey goombah, I love a how you dance a rhumba
But take a some advice paisano
Learn how to mambo
If you gonna be a square
You ain't a gonna go nowhere
Hey mambo! mambo italiano!
Hey mambo! mambo italiano!
Go, go, Joe, shake a like a Giovanno
Hello que se dice you getta happy in the feetsa
When you mambo italiano
Shake-a baby shake-a 'cos I love a when you take a me
Mama say you "stop-a or I'm gonna tell a papa"
And a hey giadrul you don't a have to go to school
Just make-a wid da beat bambino

Kid you good a lookin' but you don't know what's cookin' till you

Ho, ho, ho, you mixed up Siciliano
