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

Hey, mambo! Mambo italiano!

Go, go, go you mixed up siciliano
All you calabrese do the mambo like a crazy with a

Hey mambo, don't wanna tarantela
Hey mambo, no more a mozzarella
Hey mambo! Mambo italiano!
Try an enchilada with da fishy baccala and a
Hey goombah, I love a how you dance a rhumba
But take a some advice paisano

Hello que se dice you getta happy in the feetsa
