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.
