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

Ladies and gentlemen
This is Mambo number 5

One, two, three, four, five
Everybody in the car so come 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 cheap 'cause talk is a cheap
I like Angela, Pamela, Sandra and Rita
And I, as I continue you know they're getting sweeter

So what can I do I really beg you my Lord
To me flirtin' is just like a sport
Anything fly is 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 is all I need
A little bit of Tina is 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
Mambo number 5

Jump up and down and move it all around
Shake your head to the sound
Put your hands on the ground
Take one step left and one step right

One to the front and one to the side
Clap your hands once and clap your hands twice
And if it looks like this then you doin it right

A little bit of Monica in my life
A little bit of Erica by my side
A little bit of Rita is all I need
A little bit of Tina is 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
Pump it and trumpet Mambo number 5

A little bit of Monica in my life

A little bit of Erica by my side
A little bit of Rita is all I need
A little bit of Tina is 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
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 are gonna touch the sky
Mambo number 5

David Lubega (aka Lou Bega) (born April 13, 1975 in Munich, Germany) is a Latin pop musician famous for his song "Mambo No. 5". This song is a remake of the Perez Prado instrumental from 1952. Bega added new lyrics to the song and sampled the original version extensively.

Bega had a multicultural upbringing as his mother is Sicilian and his father is from Uganda. Bega spent time in Miami during his teenage years.

"Mambo No. 5" became an instant worldwide hit, charting in the top 5 across Europe and in the USA, where it became a popular stadium anthem at sports events. It was also used by the British television broadcaster, Channel 4 for their coverage of Test Match cricket between 1999 and 2005. Interestingly, the original version by Perez Prado was also featured in a popular Guinness commercial of that year.

In 1999 he released the album A Little Bit Of Mambo which included Mambo No. 5 and the hits "1+1=2", "I Got a Girl" and "Tricky". On December 13, 1999, this album was certified triple platinum by the RIAA. To date, he has sold almost 4 million copies in the U.S. alone. He followed this up in 2001 with Ladies And Gentlemen.

He recorded the song "Baby Keep Smiling" with Compay Segundo.

In the video game Tropico, Lou Bega is one of the characters a player can choose as his dictator persona. He was included as part of a licensing deal that also saw one of Bega's songs integrated into the German release of Tropico.

His third studio album, Lounatic, was released in late 2005. The first music video released was "You wanna be Americano" followed by "Bachata".
