What is this thing they call The Mambo

That everybody's raving about

My baby said I got to learn to Mambo

Or else she gonna pull me out

I got to learn to do The Mambo

I got to learn to switch around

I got to learn to do The Mambo

Before my baby puts me down

When we go out to a party

My baby makes me look like a square

'Cause all she wants to do is do the Mambo

And switch around with every man there

I got to learn to do The Mambo

I got to learn to switch around

I got to learn to do The Mambo

Before my baby puts me down

I love the Apple Jack and the Susie Q

But The Mambo dance is

All my baby wanna do

I got to learn to do The Mambo

I got to learn to switch around

I got to learn to do The Mambo

Before my baby puts me down

Now I can hug a book and I know how to sing

But my baby says

I got to learn to do that thing

I got to learn to do The Mambo

I got to learn to switch around

I got to learn to do The Mambo

Before my baby puts me down

I got to learn to do The Mambo

Got to learn to switch around

I got to learn to do The Mambo

Before my baby puts me down

Before my baby puts me down

Before my baby puts me down
