A girl went back to Napoli
Because she missed the scenery
The native dances and the charming songs
But wait a minute, something's wrong

Go, go, go you mixed up Sicialiano
All you Calabraise-a do the mambo like a crazy with a

Hey mambo, don't want to tarantella
Hey mambo, no more a mozzarella
Hey mambo! Mambo Italiano!

Hey goombah, I love a how you dance a rhumbah
But take a some advice paisano

Go, go, Joe, shake like a Giovanno

Hello kess-a-deetch-a you getta happy in the feets a
