A Little Bit
Mag.Lo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ladies and gentlemen, this is Mambo Number Five

One, two, three, four, five
Everybody in the car, so come on, let's ride
To the liquor store around the corner
The boys say they want some gin and juice
But I really don't wanna
Beer bust like I had last week
I must stay deep because talk is cheap

I like Angela, Pamela, Sandra and Rita
And as I continue you know they getting sweeter
So what can I do? I really beg you, my Lord
To me is flirting it's just like sport, anything fly
It's all good, let me dump it, please set in the trumpet

A little bit of Monica in my life
A little bit of Erica by my side
A little bit of Rita is all I need
A little bit of Tina is what I see
A little bit of Sandra in the sun
A little bit of Mary all night long
A little bit of Jessica, here I am
A little bit of you makes me your man

Mambo Number Five

Jump up and down and move it all around
Shake your head to the sound
Put your hand on the ground
Take one step left and one step right
One to the front and one to the side
Clap your hand once and clap your hands twice
And if it looks like this then you doing it right

A little bit of Monica in my life
A little bit of Erica by my side
A little bit of Rita is all I need
A little bit of Tina is what I see
A little bit of Sandra in the sun
A little bit of Mary all night long
A little bit of Jessica, here I am
A little bit of you makes me your man

Trumpet, the trumpet
Mambo Number Five

A little bit of Monica in my life
A little bit of Erica by my side
A little bit of Rita is all I need
A little bit of Tina is what I see
A little bit of Sandra in the sun
A little bit of Mary all night long
A little bit of Jessica, here I am
A little bit of you makes me your man

I do all to fall in love with a girl like you
'Cause you can't run and you can't hide
You and me gonna touch the sky





Mambo Number Five

Overall Meaning

The song "Mambo Number Five" by Lou Bega is an upbeat, energetic tune that celebrates the joys of clubbing, flirting, and having a good time. It is essentially a playful introduction to Lou Bega's favorite five girls, all of whom represent a certain type of woman with whom he enjoys getting down and dancing. The song's catchy main riff is backed by brass, bouncy percussion, and a swing-style rhythm section that keeps things moving.


The verses describe a night on the town with Lou Bega and his friends. They head to the liquor store to pick up some drinks (though Bega doesn't want any of the gin and juice his buddies request), and then they hit the club to dance and flirt. The chorus celebrates Bega's five favorite ladies, whom he describes in terms of their allure, beauty, and charm. The song's bridge encourages the listener to join in the fun by introducing a simple dance (the Mambo) that anyone can do.


Overall, "Mambo Number Five" is an ode to the joys of youth, love, and hedonism. It celebrates the beauty and wonder of life without getting bogged down in political or philosophical concerns. It's a song that invites the listener to dance, flirt, and enjoy every moment, no matter what tomorrow may bring.
