Lyrics Papa Loves Mambo - Nat "King" Cole

Papa loves mambo
Mama loves mambo
Look at 'em sway with it, gettin' so gay with it
Shoutin' Olé with it, wow!

Papa loves mambo
Mama loves mambo
Papa does great with it, swings like a gate with it
Evens 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

Papa loves mambo
Mama loves mambo
Havin' their fling again, younger than spring again
Feelin' that zing again, wow!

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

Mmm, papa loves mambo
Mama loves mambo
Havin' their fling again, younger than spring again
Feelin' that zing again, wow!

Papa loves mambo
Mama loves mambo
Don't play the rumba and don't play the samba
'Cause papa loves mambo tonight
Don't play the rumba and don't play the samba
'Cause papa loves mambo tonight
Don't play the rumba and don't play the samba
'Cause papa loves mambo tonight
