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
