and you've got them twisting bones
and a red hot poker burning in your ear
but you ain't nowhere near
ah black mambo gonna knock you down to the ground
black mambo little chicken better run
don't let the children catch you
don't let the children catch you
gonna lock you down with liquor and love
little chicken better run
don't let them catch you out here on the street
'cause you've got no soul
little chicken better run
don't let the children catch you
don't let the children catch you
i lock you down with liquor and love
i lock you down with liquor and love
ah black mambo with a funeral horn
you better run. black mambo coming for you
ah black mambo comes knocking with a funeral horn
black mambo little chicken better run
don't let the children catch you
don't let the children catch you
