Papa Loves
Mambo
< instrumental
opening >
Unh!
Papa loves mambo!
Mamma loves mambo!
Look at ‘em
sway with it,
Gettin’ so
gay with it,
Shoutin’ Olé
with it, Wow!
Unh!
Papa loves mambo!
( Papa
loves mambo! )
Mamma loves mambo!
(
Mamma loves mambo! )
Papa does great
with it,
Swings like a gate
with it,
He loses weight
with it, Now!
He goes to, she
goes fro,
He goes fast, she
goes slow,
He goes left,
an’ she goes right!
Papa’s
lookin’ for Mamma,
But Mamma is
nowhere in sight!
Unh!
Papa loves mambo!
Mamma loves mambo!
Havin’ their
fling again,
Younger than
spring again,
Feelin’ that
zing again, Wow!
Unh!
Papa loves mambo!
(
Papa
loves mambo! )
Mamma loves mambo!
(
Mamma loves mambo! )
Don’t play
the rumba an’ don’t play the samba,
‘Cause Papa
loves mambo, tonight!
Unh!
Papa loves
mambo!
Mamma loves
mambo!
