Nobody knew who he really was   But they called him Mambo when he played   He became the king, king of Latin swing   And oh, the music that he made      Hey mambo   Did your mama teach you that   Hey mambo   Did she know what she begat      They used to come in their fancy threads   And he always turned them inside out   They would jam the floor, they would beg for more   And when they got it they would shout      Hey mambo   Did your mama teach you that   Hey mambo   Did she know what she begat   Take it away      Hey mambo   Did your mama teach you that   Hey mambo   Did she know what she begat   Take it away [Incomprehensible]   Do it again      Hey mambo, hey mambo   Hey mambo, hey mambo   Hey mambo
