IRISH MAMBO, THE
(Cavanaugh / Redmond)


Alma Cogan - 1955




(Bagpipes)

Whaddya think they're dancing to everywhere
Sure it's a Mambo beat with an Irish air
Sure an' it just came over from over there
It's the diddly-aye Irish Mambo

Look at the sweet colleen with her gay gosoon
Doing a Mambo step to an Irish tune
Didn't they win a prize at the Harvest Moon
With the diddly-aye Irish Mambo

Everybody from every land
Loves the Mambo from Ireland
The short, the fat and the tall of us
There's a little bit of Irish in all of us

Sure an' I never thought we would see the day
All of the fish would Mambo in Galway Bay
Even the little leprechaun shouts "Olé!"
To the diddly-aye Irish Mambo

(Bagpipes)

(Look at the sweet colleen with her gay gosoon)
(Didn't they win a prize at the Harvest Moon)
(With the diddly-aye Irish Mambo)

Now, everybody from every land
Loves the Mambo from Ireland
The short and the fat and the tall of us
There's a little bit of Irish in all of us

Sure an' I never thought we would see the day
All of the fish would Mambo in Galway Bay
Even the little leprechaun shouts "Olé!"
To the diddly-aye Irish Mambo

(Bagpipes)

Do the the diddly-aye Irish Mambo, ugh-ugh!
