Gérard Darmon – Mambo Italiano lyrics

[Intro]
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 Calabraise
Do the mambo like a crazy

With a-Hey Mambo!
Don't wanna tarantella
Hey Mambo! No more the mozzarella
Hey Mambo! Mambo Italiano!
Try an enchalada with da fish-a-bacala

And then hey goombah!
I love how you dance the rumba
But take some advice paisano
Learn-a how to mambo
If you gonna be a square
You ain't-a gonna go nowhere
The Hey Mambo! Mambo Italiano!
Hey Mambo! Mambo Italiano!
Go, go Joe, shake-a like a Gioviano
Hello kess-a deech
You getta happy in the feets-a
When you Mambo Italiano!

(... Harpsichord...)
Shake baby, shake
'cause I love when you take me
(... Harpsichord...)
Mama say you stop-a or
I'm gonna tell your papa

And then hey jadrool!
You donna have to go to school
Just make-a wid da beat-a bambino
It's-a like a vino
Kid you're good-a-lookin'
But you don't know what's cookin
Till you
Hey Mambo! Mambo Italiano!
Hey Mambo! Mambo Italiano!
Go, go, go, you mixed up Siciliano
-- it's -a so delisha
Everybody can capice
How to Mambo Italiano!
