Some city folks are stayin' at a place
The other night they gave a dance
while they danced around the floor
They did one called the Mambo
Well, the Mambo is a hoedown
that's just got a Latin beat
they're dancin' on each other's feet
has a stomach pain, no doubt
When it starts to hurt him,
he'll stand right up and shout
It sounds just like a breakdown
and they play it mighty fast
Instead of usin' fiddles,
they just use a lot of brass
If my brains ever jumble,
I'll take a chance and learn to dance
On Saturday I went down to
the square dance in our town
about this mambo dance I found
He said if I described it
he would try to play it too
But when I tried to tell him
here's the best that I could do
Well, a mambo is a hoedown
that's just got a Latin beat
they're dancing on each other's feet
The fel low who is calling
has a stomach pain, no doubt
When it starts to hurt him,
he'll stand right up and shout
It sounds just like a breakdown
and they play it mighty fast
Instead of using fiddles,
they just use a lot of brass
If my brains ever jumble,
I'll take a chance and learn to dance
