Mr. Mambo (repeat)



I've been waiting for the weekend

To go out and have some fun

Well the stars shine just like sequins

And my heart beats like a machine gun

All my friends all need to party

Most of them are on the floor

Well I feel like I'm in heaven

As that boy walks through the door



Ooh I hope he notices

And when he looks me in the eye

Gotta have a beat now

That's why I'm countin' on you



Please Mr. Mambo

Strike up the combo

And let the music sway

Please Mr. Mambo

Just one more song now

So we can shake the night away



Here he comes so clean and ready

As he's rockin' to the beat

As he gets closer I'm breathin' heavy

Lookin' down at my own feet

An in a second he's right before me

Askin' me for a dance

I look up slowly, feelin' the glory

As he takes me by the hand



Ooh I wanna feel the rhythm

Ooh I've gotta feel the groove now

I know it's your decision

That's why I'm countin' on you



Please Mr. Mambo

Just on sambo

And let the music sway

Please Mr. Mambo

Just one more song so

We can swing the night away





Like it was Mardi Gras Night at the mall and everyone who was anybody was there. 

There was some kind of like Limbo contest. 

Oh no, it was Mr. Natural Brazil, you know, no steroids. 

Oh and then like this gorgeous guy come up and asked me to dance. 

Well like I got so nervous I split my diet soft drink on him. 

Well that kind of bummed the evening out for us. 

And just as I was trying to dry him for off, the music started. 

Like I had never heard this type of music before. 

I had no experience with this strange beat. 

It sounded like they stole it from like the "I Love Lucy" show. 

And then like this guy came out. 

He was like so for sure, for sure. 

He had like wing tip shoes on and like this funny little red hat on. 

Like oh wow, that was the night Mr. Mambo changed my life.

Please Mr. Mambo

Strike up the combo

And let this music sway

Please Mr. Mambo

Just one more song now

So we can dance the night away

Please Mr. Mambo

Strike up the combo

So we can shake the night away
