Lyrics:

(With Kid Creole & The Coconuts)

barry
nobody Knew Who He Really Was
but They Called Him Mambo When He Played
kid Creole
he Became The King King Of Latin Swing
both
and Oh, The Music That He Made

hey Mambo
did Your Mama Teach You That
hey Mambo
did She Know What She Begat

kid Creole
they Used To Come In Their Fancy Threads
and He Always Turned Them Inside Out
barry
they Would Jam The Floor
both
they Would Beg For More
barry
and When They Got It They Would Shout

chorus

take It Away Do It Again
hey Mambo
