Mama Wanna Mambo Lyrics

[Intro: Arturo Sandoval]
Thank you so much, Meghan
Looking forward to playing your track

[Chorus: Meghan Trainor]
Mama wanna mambo, mambo
Mama wanna mambo, mambo
Baby, why don't we go, we go
Somewhere we can mambo, mambo?

[Verse 1: Meghan Trainor]
Spin me 'round and around
I've been runnin', runnin' 'round and around
I'm in need, I think I need a night out
Baby, where you gonna take me right now?

[Pre-Chorus: Meghan Trainor]
Where we can drop it low
Baby, keep it hot and keep it tropical
Left and to the right, we 'bout to rock the boat
People gonna stare, but let 'em watch, watch the show

[Chorus: Meghan Trainor & Natti Natasha]
Mama wanna mambo, mambo
Mama wanna mambo, mambo
Baby, why don't we go, we go
Somewhere we can mambo, mambo? (Ayy)
Mama wanna mambo, mambo (Oh)
Mama wanna mambo, mambo
Baby, why don't we go, we go
Somewhere we can mambo, mambo? (Rude gyal)

[Verse 2: Natti Natasha]
I know you like it like that (Ah), poco makeup, natural (Yeah)
I bet you if you throw your pitch, I'm gonna swing it right back (Right)
I'm Natasha, nice to meet you, pero dime "Natti Nat"
Me suelto little by little, no rushin', baby, relax (Ah)
Sé que estás loco de probar mi domi flavor (Wuh)
Papi, yo también cuando te vi te puse el label (Dime)
Pídetete dos shots and can you please do me a favor?
Come and be my guest, let's mambo now, no quiero later

[Chorus: Meghan Trainor]
Mama wanna mambo, mambo
Mama wanna mambo, mambo
Baby, why don't we go, we go
Somewhere we can mambo, mambo? (Mambo)
Mama wanna mambo, mambo
Mama wanna mambo, mambo
Baby, why don't we go, we go
Somewhere we can mambo, mambo?

[Chorus: Meghan Trainor]
Mama wanna mambo, mambo
Mama wanna mambo, mambo
Baby, why don't we go, we go

Somewhere we can mambo, mambo?

What did Meghan Trainor say about "Mama Wanna Mambo"?

We were looking at genres that were big in the Fifties. I grew up with a Trinidadian uncle, so we were listening to calypso. We were listening to the song ‘Papa Loves Mambo’ [by Perry Como] and I was like, ‘Yeah, but mama wants a mambo.’ I just compared it to dancing and going out and having fun. I was like, ‘God, I don’t remember the last time I did that.’ I bet every mom feels like that. I just want to escape and have a crazy wild night. We wrote this song so fast. It was the most fun day ever. I wanted a feature on this song. And I wished that it would be an icon, but also someone who’s a mom. We were talking about Natti Natasha, and we were like ‘She never would. There’s no shot!’ But the day the master was due, we got a phone call. It was like a movie scene, and they were like ‘Natti is down.’ And we’re like, ‘What? You’re joking.’ But it was real. She recorded a verse and sent it in, and it was magnificent. And I freaking freaked out.
