papa loves mambo

Nat King Cole

Papa loves Mambo
Mama loves Mambo
Look at 'em sway with it
Gettin' so gay with it
Shoutin',"ole" with it, wow, ooh...

Papa loves Mambo
Mama loves Mambo
Papa does great with it
Swings like a gate with it
He lose his weight with it, now...

He goes to, she goes fro
He goes fast, she goes slow
He goes left, she goes right
Papa's lookin' for mama
But Mama is nowhere in sight, ooh...

Papa loves Mambo
Mama loves Mambo
Havin' their fling again
Younger than Spring again
Feelin' that zing again, wow, ooh...

Papa loves Mambo
Mama loves Mambo
Don't play the Rumba
And don't play the Samba
'Cause papa loves Mambo tonight, ooh...

He goes to, she goes fro
He goes fast, she goes slow
He goes left, she goes right
Papa's lookin' for mama
But mama is nowhere in sight, ooh...

Papa loves Mambo
Mama loves Mambo
Havin' their fling again
Younger than spring again
Feelin' that zing again, wow, ooh...

Papa loves Mambo
Mama loves Mambo
Don't play the Rumba
And don't play the Samba
'Cause papa loves Mambo tonight, ooh...

Don't play the Rumba
And don't play the Samba
'Cause papa loves Mambo tonight, ooh
Don't play the Rumba
And don't play the Samba
'Cause papa loves Mambo tonight...
