Rosemary Clooney Lyrics
Mambo Italiano

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.

Ey, Mambo! Mambo Italiano!
Ey, Mambo! Mambo Italiano!
Go, go, go you mixed up Sigialiano.
All you calabraise a-do the Mambo like a crazy with a...

Ey Mambo, don't wanna tarantella.
Ey Mambo, no more a mozzarella.
Ey Mambo! Mambo Italiano!
Try an enchilada with da fish a bac-a-lan.

Hey goombah, I love a how you dance a rhumbah.
But take a some advice, paisano, ;earn how to Mambo.
If you gonna be a square you ain't a gonna go nowhere.

Ey Mambo! Mambo Italiano!
Ey Mambo! Mambo Italiano!
Go, go, Joe, shake like a Giovanno.
Hello kess-a-deetch-a you getta happy in the feets a...
When you Mambo Italiano.

Shake-a Baby shake-a,
'Cause I love-a when you-a take-a me.

Mama say, "Stop-a or I'm gonna go tell papa."
An' a hey ja drool you don't a have to go to school,
Just make-a wid da beat, bambino, it's a like a vino
Kid you good a-lookin' but you
Don't a-know what's cookin' till you...

Ey Mambo, Mambo Italiano.
Ey Mambo, Mambo Italiano.
Ho, ho, ho, you mixed up Sigiliano.
it's a so delish a ev'rybody come copisha,
How to Mambo Italiano!

'At's nice!
