Mambo No. 5 (A Little Bit of...) Lyrics

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 (uh)
So what can I do? I really beg you, my Lord
To me is flirting is just like a 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's all I need
A little bit of Tina's 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 (ah)

(Hey)
Mambo Number Five (ah)

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're doing it right

A little bit of Monica in my life
A little bit of Erica by my side
A little bit of Rita's all I need
A little bit of Tina's 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 (ah)

(Ah)
Trumpet, the trumpet
Mambo Number Five, hahaha

A little bit of Monica in my life
A little bit of Erica by my side
A little bit of Rita's all I need
A little bit of Tina's 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 (huh)

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

(Hey)
Mambo Number Five (ah)

What is the Meaning of Mambo No. 5 (A Little Bit of...)?

This upbeat track is a celebration of life, love, and the joys of dancing. The song's protagonist, Lou Bega, finds pleasure in the company of various women named in the lyrics. However, it's not about being unfaithful or promiscuous; each woman represents different qualities he appreciates. The 'little bit' phrase signifies that he enjoys diversity in life and doesn't want to be tied down to one routine or person. The mambo dance metaphor runs throughout the song, implying that just like dancing, life should be filled with rhythm, fun and constant movement. So essentially, this catchy tune encourages listeners to embrace variety in life while enjoying every moment on this dance floor we call life.
