Words and music by Sonny Burke and Don Raye
4
I went a ridin home down to Santa Fe,
5
There's been a lot of changes since I been away
6
I went to have a dance at the old dance hall,
7
Where they were having a ball
8
Chorus 1:
9
They were doin the mambo,
10
What the heck is the mambo
11
They were doin the mambo,
12
While I just stood around
13
I looked around the place for my best gal Flo
14
I asked a lot of people for my best friend Joe
15
Nobody seemed to know where my two friends were
16
Except that he was with her
17
Chorus 2:
18
They were doin the mambo,
19
Well they called it the mambo
20
They were doin the mambo,
21
While I just stood around
22
I used to be a dance hall dandy
23
But it seems since I been gone
24
There's an awful lot of changes,
25
I don't know what's goin on
26
I got a big surprise on the patio,
27
I found my gal a huggin
28
With my best friend Joe
29
And when they turned around
30
And they looked my way
31
They smiled and shouted "Olay!"
32
Chorus 2
33
I used to be a dance hall dandy
34
I knew all there was to know
35
I knew this away from that away,
36
But which way did they go
37
I figured it was time that I took a ride
38
But couldn't find my horse
39
Where I left him tied
40
He found a little filly that he liked a lot,
41
And you believe it or not
42
They were doin the mambo,
43
Even horses do mambo
44
They were doin the mambo, mambo
45
While I just stood around
