A boy went back to Napoli
Because he missed the scenery
The native dances
And the charming songs
But wait a minute
Something's wrong!
'Cause now it's...

Don't wanna tarantella
Hey mambo no more mozzarella
Hey mambo
Mambo italiano

With a fish baccalada

But take a some advice pisano learn how to mambo
If you're gonna be a square you ain't-a gonna go nowhere

You mixed up siciliano
E lo che se dice you get happy in the pizza when you
