Mr Mambo (repeat)
I've been waiting for the weekend
To go out and have some fun
Well the stars shine just like sequins
And my heart beats like a machine gun
All my friends all need to party
Most of them are on the floor
Well I feel like I'm in heaven
As that boy walks through the door
Ooh I hope he notices
And when he looks me in the eye
Gotta have a beat now
That's why I'm countin' on you
Please Mr Mambo
Strike up the combo
And let the music sway
Please Mr Mambo
Just one more song now
So we can shake the night away
Here he comes so clean and ready
As he's rockin' to the beat
As he gets closer I'm breathin' heavy
Lookin' down at my own feet
An in a second he's right before me
Askin' me for a dance
I look up slowly, feelin' the glory
As he takes me by the hand
Ooh I wanna feel the rhythm
Ooh I've gotta feel the groove now
I know it's your decision
That's why I'm countin' on you
Please Mr Mambo
Just on sambo
And let the music sway
Please Mr Mambo
Just one more song so
We can swing the night away

Like it was Mardi Gras Night at the mall and everyone who was anybody was there
There was some kind of like Limbo contest
Oh no, it was Mr Natural Brazil, you know, no steroids
Oh and then like this gorgeous guy come up and asked me to dance
Well like I got so nervous I split my diet soft drink on him
Well that kind of bummed the evening out for us
And just as I was trying to dry him for off, the music started
Like I had never heard this type of music before
I had no experience with this strange beat
It sounded like they stole it from like the "I Love Lucy" show
And then like this guy came out
He was like so for sure, for sure
He had like wing tip shoes on and like this funny little red hat on
Like oh wow, that was the night Mr Mambo changed my life
Mr Mambo (repeat and fade with following)
Please Mr Mambo
Strike up the combo
And let this music sway
Please Mr Mambo
Just one more song now
So we can dance the night away
Please Mr Mambo
Strike up the combo
So we can shake the night away
