Lyrics Barry Manilow – Hey Mambo

Barry:
Nobody knew who he really was
But they called him Mambo when he played

Kid Creole:

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

Both:
Hey Mambo
Did your mama teach you that
Hey Mambo
Did she know what she begat

Both:
Take it away
Hey Mambo
Did your mama teach you that
