Hey, Mambo!

Along the gloomy shore of the River Styx,
where the dead go to cross on Halloween,
Jack O'Lantern waits to greet the unhappy souls
with something to lift their spirits.

The joint starts jumping
when he rises from the patch,
and starts to shimmy and shake on the vine,
while crooning,

"Hey, Mambo, Mambo Italiano!
You worked hard for your money,
now it's quitting time,
so put on your happy feet
and gimme some shake, Goombah!"
