Some years ago in Miami I saw
a group of Cuban boys sitting on the stoop
of an apartment house.
A gorgeous young blonde girl---she could not
have been more than 16 or 17---passed,
and the boys went wild.
They whistled and yelled and
called out Mamacita! I could see that
the girl, behind a façade
of indifference, was delighted. And all at
once it evolved into an entire
number. With the current explosion
of Latin music, I thought
the time was ripe for placing
it on the Internet.
Mamacita
The Boys:
Mamacita!
You cannot beat a
Beautiful and blonde,
Divine señorita!
We want to growl and purr---
She's like a blaze of light---
Oh, how we'll dream of her
When we go home tonight!
We'd love to treat a
Beautiful and blonde
Divine señorita!
Our hearts go thump, thump, thump---
She couldn't be sweeter---
Our pulses jump, jump, jump
For our blonde mamacita,
Mamacita!
Mamacita!
The Girl:
I'm not supposed to look,
I'm not supposed to turn,
I'm not supposed to show
The very least concern.
I'm not supposed to smile
Or get chummy,
I'm just supposed to act
Like some Egyptian mummy.
But---I love it!
I love every whistle,
I love all the sighs.
I adore the yearning
In their deep brown eyes.
I love it!
I love the thrilling tempo
Of their Latin song---
Now and then I'd even
Like to sing along.
I love every whistle,
I love every yell,
For it couldn't be neater
To hear them call me Mamacita!
Oh, wow, oh, wow!
It means
I am a woman now.
The Boys:
Mamacita!
You cannot beat a
Beautiful and blonde,
Divine señorita!
We feel our pressure rise
Straight up to our heads---
Oh, how we'll fantasize
When we are in our beds!
We'd love to treat a
Beautiful and blonde
Divine señorita!
Our hearts go thump, thump, thump---
She couldn't be sweeter---
Our pulses jump, jump, jump
For our blonde mamacita,
Mamacita!
Mamacita!The Girl:
I'm not supposed to act
Like I can hear them call---
As far as I'm concerned
They don't exist at all.
If I should stop and wink,
I'd seem shady,
And I'd turn into salt
Like what's-his-name's old lady.
But---I love it!
I love every whistle,
I love all the sighs.
I adore the yearning
In their deep brown eyes.
I love it!
I love the thrilling tempo
Of their Latin song---
Now and then I'd even
Like to sing along.
I love every whistle,
I love every yell,
For it couldn't be neater
To hear them call me Mamacita!
Oh, wow, oh, wow!
It means
I am a woman now.
