Mambo Italiano Lyrics
Artist: Rosemary Clooney
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
Hey, mambo! Mambo italiano!
Hey, mambo! Mambo italiano
Go, go, go you mixed up sicialiano
All you calabraise-a do the mambo like a crazy with a
Hey mambo, don't wanna tarantella
Hey mambo, no more a mozzarella
Hey mambo! Mambo italiano!
Try an enchilada with da fish a bac a lab and then a
Hey goombah, I love a how you dance a rhumbah
But take a some advice paisano
Learn how to mambo
If you gonna be a square
You ain't a gonna go nowhere
Hey mambo! mambo italiano!
Hey mambo! mambo italiano!
Go, go, Joe, shake like a Giovanno
Hello kess-a-deetch-a you getta happy in the feets a
When you mambo italiano
Shake-a Baby shake-a cause i love a when you take a me
Mama say "stop-a or I'm gonna go to papa"
And a hey ja drool you don't a have to go to school
Just make-a wid da beat bambino
It's a like a vino
Kid you good a lookin' but you don't a-know what's cookin' till you
Hey mambo, Mambo italiano
Hey mambo, Mambo italiano
Ho, ho, ho, you mixed up Siciliano

bella. fabuloso. io amore che musica. io avere italiano, (:
My dad's side of the fam is 100% italian and we always dance and sing this song...the whole family!
i loveeeeeeeeeeeeeee this song soo much
copisha means "copice?" or "you understand?"
What a great lyric! And sung so perfectly by an irish-american! I"m Italian, Irish and German, but when I hear Rosie sing this I'm 100% Italiano!
it is not 'copisha' or 'copice'; 'do you understand' is "capisci?"
why do people pretend to know a language, instead of learning a few words properly?
You guys are all retarded.
best dinner musicc played in the house. been hearing it since i was a baby,
scumbags
seriously, this song is the shit!
One of my favs since forever!!!!Makes me get a happy in da feet!Almost makes ya wish you were sittin at some goodfellas joint at the V.I.P. table w/a whiskey in one hand,& a stogie in the other...fagetaboutit! God a blessa all you italianos,capisci?!

Forget the nationalities for the moment, just enjoy the music, one of the wonderful piece I've ever listened.
Sorry, but Sicily is part of Italy. Autonomy isn't independence. Comment the song, not your personal life. I'm black so my family went through worse.

Rosemary Clooney didn't write it, someone else sang it before her and she adapted it to be sung by a girl.

Well this song has been always in my favourite Mambo Songs list...
I really love the British Mambo Jumbos like this !!
great song but whoever the lyrics is wrond.Hello kess-a-deetch-a ??? its, e lo che sei dice.
ONE OF THE WORDS IN THIS SONG IS JADROOL WHEN I WAS GROWING UP MY PARENTS SAID IT MEANT PICKLE IS IT TRUE?
jadrool also means bum. it can be used as an insult or playfully.
I just looked up "copisha." According to one source it doesn't mean anything.
Awesome - an all time great feel good song.
when i was growing up this song was always playing around the house and I finally found it!
я на турнире танцивала на бальных танцах это бесня бальных танцах
the awesome song and very energetic :D
very good, very good!
Now i'm hungry for pizza...
danielle hope did the best version on 'over the rainbow' it was amazing!!! love this song
i love this song! It has been in my head since danielle hope sang it in over the rainbow.
Rosemary was just so brilliant and a special person. Her songs bring peace and joy and laughs and smiles to me and countless of others. She will always live on in the hearts of so many. God bless you Rosemary!
i love when daniel did this for over the rainbow the song got stuck in my head for ages
i luva dis songa!
I love this song sooo much....
babbo!
it's a so delish a ev'rybody come copisha------------------
the real lyrics are everybody come to pisha (i forgot how to spell it and i live in sicily lol)as in to take a piss.....this was the first song i ever heard when i grew up because we were poor and couldnt buy tapes but one day i found it on the side of a street so i listened an it was rosemary clooney
sicilano all the way!
This is a badaass song niqquhs fur real
I am proud of my italian heritage. We are some crazy muhthahs and where the original gangsters come from. This song always brings back memories of childhood, strong family bonds, and lots of boisterous and loud fun!
Heard it on Radio Indigo a Fantabolous track ..just love it
i wanna go mmet my ancestors in italy.
mi piace!
This song makes me wish I were Italian!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!=)
wow tis song is the best in the whole world it should be the worlds song and every minute it starts.
copisha means "do you understand"
I believe that "copice" means "do you understand or do you "get it" " I am guessing that can be compared the question form on English's "Okay" As in...I am going to go leave now, okay?
I believe the song was so called "controversial" or "racy" is because it could be construed as a little racist. Though it is all tongue-in-cheek and in good nature. I love it!! Rosie can sing it and was originally from my town (Cincinnati!) but no one sings the song like 'ole Dino
I LOVE THIS SONG AND THE WAY IT IS I KNOW THAT IT IS NOT REALLY ITALIAN FULLY BUT I LOVE IT BECAUSE I AM 1/2 ITALIAN SO I LOVE THE SONG !!!!!! LOL
this song is too good
amazing

worst translation from Italian ever
I LOVE This Song
Whenever my family throws a party, there is always a band playing this song, like at my relatives 25th anniversary party. :D
some of these lyrics are beyond wrong. "bac a lab" really? How about bacala. A very popular italian fish. There are soooo many things its not even funny.
i love love love this song and rosemary clooney!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)
Forget all this nonsense. This song has it all!!
It is not bac a LAB!!!!!! It's BaccaLA!!! It's a fish.
Heard this song in one of D&G's fashion show, I instantly became addicted.
To my Italian familia, Grazie Grazie. Growing up with my Italian family was the best, family first always. Party time at Fazios meant, " baby let the good time roll', I miss those times very much. But when I hear " Mambo Italiano" those where the days, great food, great family. Grazie, Nonna and nonno, of course mi mama and papa, so everybody lets mambo Italiano and have a great time... Ciao
This may be the worst song of all time. Goofy instrumental and absolutely vomit inducing vocals
Love the song, though I prefer Dean's cover.
