DISNEY MAMBO NO. 5

One two three four five Everybody in the car so come on let's ride To the candy-store around the corner The boys say they want some ice-cream But I really don't wanna Let's dance till we all fall down We'll really party hearty to the mambo sound I like Minnie, Goofy, Pluto and Daisy and As I continue the gang is goin' crazy So what can I do I really beg you my lord To me dancing is just like a sport Anything fly it's all good let me dump it Please send in the trumpet

Chorus A little bit of Minnie in my life A little bit of Mickey by her side A little bit of Donald's all I need A little bit of Daisy's what I see A little bit of Pluto in the sun Huey Dewey Louie can't go wrong A little bit of Goofy everyone! A little bit of him makes life so fun

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

CHORUS I do all to fall in love with a girl like you `Cause you can't run, you can't hide You and me gonna touch the sky
