美國偶像公主［蒂芬妮］──流行舞曲──幽默的［Mr. Mambo／曼波先生］

Written by: John Duarte, Mark Paul

Mr. Mambo (repeat)

Ive been waiting for the weekend
To go out and have some fun
Well the stars shine just like sequins
And my heart beats like a machine gun
All my friends all need to party
Most of them are on the floor
Well I feel like Im in heaven
As that boy walks through the door

Ooh I hope he notices
And when he looks me in the eye
Gotta have a beat now
Thats why Im countin on you

Please Mr. Mambo
Strike up the combo
And let the music sway
Please Mr. Mambo
Just one more song now
So we can shake the night away

Here he comes so clean and ready
As hes rockin to the beat
As he gets closer Im breathin heavy
Lookin down at my own feet
An in a second hes right before me
Askin me for a dance
I look up slowly, feelin the glory
As he takes me by the hand

Ooh I wanna feel the rhythm
Ooh Ive gotta feel the groove now
I know its your decision
Thats why Im countin on you

Please Mr. Mambo
Just on sambo
And let the music sway
Please Mr. Mambo
Just one more song so
We can swing the night away

Like it was Mardi Gras Night at the mall and everyone who was anybody was there.
There was some kind of like Limbo contest.
Oh no, it was Mr. Natural Brazil, you know, no steroids.
Oh and then like this gorgeous guy come up and asked me to dance.
Well like I got so nervous I split my diet soft drink on him.
Well that kind of bummed the evening out for us.
And just as I was trying to dry him for off, the music started.
Like I had never heard this type of music before.
I had no experience with this strange beat.
It sounded like they stole it from like the "I Love Lucy" show.
And then like this guy came out.
He was like so for sure, for sure.
He had like wing tip shoes on and like this funny little red hat on.
Like oh wow, that was the night Mr. Mambo changed my life.

Mr. Mambo (repeat and fade with following)
Please Mr. Mambo
Strike up the combo
And let this music sway
Please Mr. Mambo
Just one more song now
So we can dance the night away
Please Mr. Mambo
Strike up the combo
So we can shake the night away

１９８８年初　美國偶像公主蒂芬妮（Tiffany）兩首單曲［I Think We’re Alone Now］［Could’ve Been］登上美國告示榜冠軍（UK#1, Uk#4）

首張同名大碟也登上排行榜后座

唱片公司MCA考慮下首主打  有兩首候選者：分別是專輯中的［I Saw Him Standing There］與沒收在大碟的［Mr. Mambo／曼波先生］

MCA起先發行以［Mr. Mambo］為A面主打與［I Saw Him Standing There］為B面的版本

但最後改變主意　將兩首歌曲次序輪調　換成主打［I Saw Him Standing There］

可是［Mr. Mambo］也是粉絲的喜好之一

這首流行舞曲由John Duarte, Mark Paul譜寫, 經紀人George Tobin製作

節拍輕快　蒂芬妮的詮釋幽默風趣

假如在她當紅推出　或許會成為一首代表曲
