Papa loves mambo
Mama loves mambo
Look at 'em sway with it, gettin' so gay with it
Shoutin' "olay" with it, wow! (ooh!)
Papa loves mambo (Papa loves mambo)
Mama loves mambo (Mama loves mambo)
Papa does great with it, swings like a gate with it
He loses weight with it, now!
He goes to, she goes fro
He goes fast, she goes slow
He goes left 'n' she goes right
(Papa's lookin' for mama, but mama is nowhere in sight) (ooh)
Papa loves mambo
Mama loves mambo
Havin' their fling again, younger than spring again
Feelin' that zing again, wow! (ooh!)
Papa loves mambo (Papa loves mambo)
Mama loves mambo (Mama loves mambo)
Don't let her rumba and don't let her samba
'cause papa loves mama tonight (ooh!)
(Papa loves mambo)
(Mama loves mambo)
(Papa loves mambo)
(Mama loves mambo)
He goes to, she goes fro
He goes fast, she goes slow
He goes left 'n' she goes right
(Papa's lookin' for mama but mama is nowhere in sight) (ooh!)
Papa loves mambo (Papa loves mambo)
Mama loves mambo (Mama loves mambo)
Havin' their fling again, younger than Spring again
Feelin' that zing again, wow! (ooh!)
(Papa loves mambo)
Mambo papa
(Mama loves mambo)
Mambo mama
(Don't let her rumba and don't let her samba)
'cause papa--
Loves a mambo tonight
(ooh!)

Just got home from Illinois
Lock the front door, oh boy
Got to sit down
Take a rest on the porch
Imagination sets in
Pretty soon I'm singin'
Doo, doo, doo
Lookin' out my back door
There's a giant doing cartwheels
A statue wearin' high heels
Look at all the happy creatures
Dancing on the lawn
A dinosaur Victrola
List'ning to Buck Owens
Doo, doo, doo
Lookin' out my back door
Tambourines and elephants
Are playing in the band
Won't you take a ride
On the flyin' spoon
Doo, doo doo
Wond'rous apparition
Provided by magician
Doo, doo, doo
Lookin' out my back door
---- Instrumental Interlude ----
Tambourines and elephants
Are playing in the band
Won't you take a ride
On the flyin' spoon
Doo, doo doo
Bother me tomorrow
Today I'll buy no sorrows
Doo, doo, doo
Lookin' out my back door
Forward troubles Illinois
Lock the front door, oh boy
Look at all the happy creatures
Dancing on the lawn
Bother me tomorrow
Today I'll buy no sorrows
Doo, doo, doo
Lookin' out my back door
