Song lyrics

A boy went back to Napoli because he missed the scenery
The native dances and the charming songs
But wait a minute, something's 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

Hey goomba, I love how you dance the rumba
But take some advice, paisano
Learn-a how to mambo
If you're gonna be a square
You ain't-a gonna go anywhere

Hey mambo, mambo italiano
hey, hey mambo, mambo italiano
Go, go Joe, shake like a tiavanna
E lo che si dice, you get happy in the pizza
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 till you

Hey mambo, mambo italiano
Hey, hey mambo, mambo italiano
Ho, ho, ho, you mixed up Siciliano
E lo che si dice, you get happy in the pizza
When you mambo italiano!
