Mambo Italiano

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!
Because it's

Hey mambo! Mambo Italiano.
Hey mambo! Mambo Italiano.
Go, go, go, you mixed up Siciliano;
All you Calabrese
Do the mambo like-a crazy.

Hey mambo! Don't wanna tarantella;
Hey mambo! No more mozzarella;
Hey mambo! Mambo Italiano;
Try an enchilada with the fish e baccalà;

Hey cumpà, I love-a how you dance the rumba;
But take-a some advice paesano, learn-a how to mambo;
If you gonna be a square
You ain't-a gonna go nowhere;
