Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hey mambo, mambo rock
Hey mambo, mambo rock
Everybody's doing it, mambo rock
There's an island in the Caribbean Sea
Where the natives dance and rock with plea
The mambo dance in a different way
Hey mambo, mambo rock
Hey mambo, mambo rock
Hey mambo, mambo rock
Everybody's doing it, mambo rock
Where the waves roll up on the golden sand
Grab your chick right by the hand
You can clap and stamp your feet
To that crazy rockin' mambo beat
Oh, hey mambo, mambo rock
Hey mambo, mambo rock
Hey mambo, mambo rock
Everybody's doing it, mambo rock
Through the red hot day and the cool-cool night
When the mambo moon is shining bright
They love to dance around the clock
To that crazy rockin' mambo beat
Hey mambo, mambo rock
Hey mambo, mambo rock
Hey mambo, mambo rock
Everybody's doing it, mambo rock
Hey mambo, mambo rock
Hey mambo, mambo rock
Hey mambo, mambo rock
Everybody's doing it, mambo rock

Это первый рок, услышанный нами в Союзе начала 60-тых. С тех пор прошло через пространство и время великое множество мелодий, но эта осталась в памяти навсегда. Она возвращает меня в лучшие годы моей жизни.

I was 2 years old when this song hit the charts. We had a new house built june 1953 and I had been born in August. My mom told me years later that when Mambo Rock came on the radio, I dropped my little legs outside of the playpen I was in, and drove that thing around the living room. Problem is, it wouldn't fit down the hall, but that did not stop me from trying. Hence, years later when I asked her where all those chips came from on the edge of the hall, she blamed it on me and the "Mambo Rock". Oh the Good Old Days!
