The Mambo Craze
De-Phazz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My heart is filled with gladness
Oh look, the orchestra's getting ready
Dance with me, George
Check the scene outside of Medellin
Make a fuss in Caracas
Big cigars in dark Havana bars
Mambo slow Guantanamo
Was so glad escape in Trinidad
Upside down in Kingston town
Stole a car in the streets of Panama
Went too far in Bogota
Space cake break at the Titicaca lake
Got some more in Ecuador
Asked for a dance in a dive in Port-au-Prince
Went too far in Bogota
A little weak, a little pale today
Looks like it's time for that certain holiday
A little weak, a little pale today
A little weak, a little pale today
Rip 'em up
Space cake break on the Titicaca lake
Got some more in Ecuador
Stole a car in the streets of Panama
Went too far in Bogota
A little weak, a little pale today
Looks like it's time for that certain holiday
A little weak, a little pale today
Looks like it's time for that certain holiday
A little weak, a little pale today
The song "The Mambo Craze" by De-Phazz is a fun, upbeat track that tells the story of two characters named Lucy and George who are enjoying themselves dancing to a live orchestra. The lyrics paint a picture of a lively, adventurous lifestyle where the characters travel the world and experience different cultures. The song's first stanza sets the scene and establishes the mood, with the singer asking Lucy why she is crying when his heart is full of joy. The orchestra is getting ready, and he invites George to dance with him.
The lyrics then take us on a wild journey through different cities and events, such as Medellin, Caracas, Havana, and Guantanamo. The characters smoke big cigars in dark Havana bars and slow dance in Guantanamo. They escape to Trinidad, turn their world upside down in Kingston town, and steal a car in the streets of Panama. The characters indulge in space cakes at the Titicaca lake and in Ecuador, then ask for a dance in a dive in Port-au-Prince. Despite all the fun and adventure, the journey takes its toll on the characters, and they end up feeling a little weak and pale. But it looks like they're ready for that "certain holiday" again.
Overall, "The Mambo Craze" is a catchy, fun song that celebrates life, adventure, and the joy of music and dancing. It tells a story of living in the moment and enjoying life, despite its ups and downs.
