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

Now it's hey, mambo, mambo italiano

Hey mambo, mambo italiano

Go, go, Joe you mixed up siciliano

All you calabrese do the mambo like a crazy and-

Hey mambo, don't wanna tarantella

Hey mambo, no more a mozzarella

Hey mambo, mambo italiano

Try an enchilada with the fishy baccalà and then a-

Hey cumpa', I love a how you dance a rhumba

But take-a some advice, paesano

Learn-a 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 like a Giovanno

Hello, che si dice, getta happy in the feets-a when you

(Mambo) Mambo italiano

Shake-a baby, shake-a, 'cause I love-a when you take a-me

And-a hey jadrool you don't-a have to go to school

Just make-a with the beat bambino

It's-a like a vino

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

Hey (hey)

Hey (hey)

Hey (hey)

Hey (hey)

Hey (hey)

Hey (hey)

Shake-a baby, shake-a, 'cause I love it when you take-a me

By the pizzeria that's where I'm gonna be-a

Don't ya tell your mama

Mama's gonna tell-a papa

There's-a nothin' to it

Come on baby let's-a do it

Hey mambo, mambo italiano

Hey mambo, mambo italiano

Go, go, Joe, you mixed up siciliano

It's-a so delish-a, everybody gonna preshi-ada

Mambo italiano
