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;

Hey mambo! Mambo Italiano.
Hey mambo! Mambo Italiano.
Go Go Joe! Shake like a tiavanna(?);
E lo che si dice, you get happy in the feets-a when you
Mambo Italiano.

Hey cadriolo(?), you don't-a have to go the school
Just to make it with a big bambino
It's-a like vino;
Kid you good-a lookin'
but you don't-a know what's cookin'
'til you

Hey mambo! Mambo Italiano.
Hey mambo! Mambo Italiano.
Oh, oh, oh, you mixed up Siciliano.
E lo che si dice, you get happy in the feets-a when you
Mambo Italiano!

The Rosemary Clooney version of the song has longer, somewhat different lyrics. Notably, the song begins with "A girl went back" rather than "A boy..."
