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 mabo 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 se dice you get happy in the pizza when you mambo italiano


(piano solo)

Hey chadrool you don't-a have to go to 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 pizza when you mambo italiano


(accordéon solo)

Hey chadrool you don't-a have to go to 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 pizza when you mambo italiano.
