JOHN: Hey everybody get your feet on the ground
'Cause the new coca monga, labamba's in town
Take along a bongo, take your wife
Jump in the soul of the music of life
Checkout the slide of the ladies of the night
They be shakin' like a bacon makin' everything right
No need to sit, get your feet on the floor
Shake it, don't break it... uh! Like a matador
GIRLS: You and me, tell me where you wanna be
Where everybody wants to do the samba
(JOHN: samba la bamba)
Me and you, tell me what you wanna do
Where everybody wants to do the samba
(JOHN: samba la bamba)
All the people dancing to the beat
Party people come and feel the heat
You and me, tell me where you wanna be
Where everybody wants to do the samba

You be shakin' that thing like a baby doll should
Stick among a conga, cowbell your wife
