Key: A major•
Verse 1
They really shake it down in Tennessee
They love the rhythm in a Latin key
You can hear the tune of tropical romance
F
A
And everyone yells,
let's dance when they play
E
A
The Tennessee Mambo
Tennessee Mambo
We shake till we're numb -o
We shake till we groan
E
A
Knees a -knockin', hips a -rockin'
Crazy swayin' to and fro
E
A
Act like ladies round the tom -tom
Doin' the Tennessee mumbo
The quadrille doesn't have
a chance no more
Since the tune traveled from the Ecuador
The old square dance fiddles used to play
E
A
We are mighty square now, Oleg,
when they play the Tennessee mumbo,
Tennessee mumbo,
E
A
E
A
we shake till we're numbo,
we shake till we're grown,
knees a -knockin', hips a -rockin',
crazy swayin', to and fro,
act like ladies round the tom -tom,
doin' the Tennessee mumbo.
You never really heard a guitar picked
E
A
until you hear it with a clave stick
E
A
A bumble playing in a country style
You feel like a lady for going wild
when they play the Tennessee
Mumbo
Tennessee Mumbo
We shake till we're numbo
We shake till we groan
Knees are knocking, hips are rocking
Crazy swaying to and fro
E
A
Act like a native around the tom -tom
doing the Tennessee mumbo
Now every night is like a Saturday
when you hear music and the rockers play
E
A
You know you're gonna live it up and so
You grab a gal and then you let her go
we shake till we're numb -o,
we shake till we're grown -o.
crazy swayin' to and fro.
Act like a navy brown tom -tom,
doin' the Tennessee Mambo.
