They Were Doin’ The Mambo Vaughn Monroe

They were doin' the mambo
Vaughn Monroe
Words and music by Sonny Burke and Don Raye

I went a ridin home down to Santa Fe
There's been a lot of changes since I been away
I went to have a dance at the old dance hall
Where they were having a ball

Chorus 1:
They were doin the mambo
What the heck is the mambo
They were doin the mambo
While I just stood around

I looked around the place for my best gal Flo
I asked a lot of people for my best friend Joe
Nobody seemed to know where my two friends were
Except that he was with her

Chorus 2:
They were doin the mambo
Well they called it the mambo
They were doin the mambo
While I just stood around
