Letra

Mambo, mambo, eh
Mambo, mambo, eh

I dance the rumba, the salsa, the cha cha
The limbo, the foxtrott and even the tango
With ladies and girlies, with mammies and babies
And djs gone play this cause it's on their playlist

And on my journey thru' all of these dances
I found a lot of hot sex romances
But mambo seeked me and mambo freaked me
Then she realesed me
And this is how we go

Mambo, mambo, eh
The babes are all around me
Mambo, mambo, eh
Dancing all night long
Mambo, mambo, eh
The babes are all around me
Mambo, mambo, eh
To the break of dawn

I dance the rumba, the salsa, the cha cha
The limbo, the foxtrott and even the tango
With ladies and girlies, with mammies and babies
And djs gone play this cause it's on their playlist

And on my journey thru' all of these dances
I found a lot of hot sex romances
But mambo seeked me and mambo freaked me
Then she realesed me
And this is how we go

Mambo, mambo, eh
The babes are all around me
Mambo, mambo, eh
Dancing all night long
Mambo, mambo, eh
The babes are all around me
Mambo, mambo, eh
To the break of dawn

Mambo, mambo, eh
The babes are all around me
Mambo, mambo, eh
Dancing all night long
Mambo, mambo, eh
The babes are all around me
Mambo, mambo, eh
Thank you for this dance
