When you're on your own 
And you've got them twisted bones 
And a red hot poker burning in your ear 
You think you've had it but you ain't nowhere near 
You think you've had it but you're nowhere near 
(nowhere near) 

Ah black mambo 
Gonna nock you down to the ground 
Oh black mambo 
Little chicken better run run run 

Don't let the children catch you 
Don't let the children catch you 

Gonna nock you down 
With a liquer and love 
Black mambo little chicken better run run run 
Don't let them catch you out here on the streets 
Because you've got no soul 
Black mambo little chicken better run run run 

Don't let the children catch you 
Don't let the children catch you 
No no no no 

Gonna nock you down with liquer and love 
I lock you down with liquer and love 
Oh black mambo with a funeral horn 
No no no no no 
Black mambo coming for you 

A black mambo coming nocking with a funeral hard 
Black mambo little chicken better run run run 

Don't let the children catch you 
Don't let the children catch you 
No no 

Don't let the children catch you 
Don't let all the children catch you 
No no no no no no
