They Were Doin' the Mambo |
| They were doin' the mambo |
| Vaughn Monroe |
| Words and music by Sonny Burke and Don Raye |
| I went a ridin home down to Santa Fe |
| There’s been a lot of changes since I been away |
| I went to have a dance at the old dance hall |
| Where they were having a ball |
| They were doin the mambo |
| What the heck is the mambo |
| They were doin the mambo |
| While I just stood around |
| I looked around the place for my best gal Flo |
| I asked a lot of people for my best friend Joe |
| Nobody seemed to know where my two friends were |
| Except that he was with her |
| They were doin the mambo |
| Well they called it the mambo |
| They were doin the mambo |
| While I just stood around |
| I used to be a dance hall dandy |
| But it seems since I been gone |
| There’s an awful lot of changes |
| I don’t know what’s goin on |
| I got a big surprise on the patio |
| I found my gal a huggin |
| With my best friend Joe |
| And when they turned around |
| And they looked my way |
| They smiled and shouted «Olay!» |
| I used to be a dance hall dandy |
| I knew all there was to know |
| I knew this away from that away |
| But which way did they go |
| I figured it was time that I took a ride |
| But couldn’t find my horse |
| Where I left him tied |
| He found a little filly that he liked a lot |
| And you believe it or not |
| They were doin the mambo |
| Even horses do mambo |
| They were doin the mambo, mambo |
| While I just stood around |
