Kwek Mambo

intro:
jauh sudah kanda pergi
tidak pernah senang hati
ingat dinda tiap hari
hampir mati
hati sedih tiap masa
bila ingat paras dinda
rindu dendam rasa jiwa
ingin jumpa dinda

ramai-ramai kita menyanyi
jangan ingat susah dan sunyi
kita hidup hanya sekali
o..o..o.. mesti senang hati

ramai-ramai kita bersuka
jangan ingat susah sengsara
kita mau senyum ketawa
o..o..o.. jangan masam muka

kalau orang suka termenung
bikin hati jadi bingung
kalau orang mabuk kepayang
nanti jadi gila bayang

ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya
boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom
ter ter ter ter ter ter ter ter ter
kwek kwek kwek kwek kwek kwek kwek kwek kwek
mambo hei mambo

(repeat paragraph 2)

(repeat paragraph 4 & 5)

(repeat paragraph 2)

mesti senang hati

Trivia

P Ramlee was not involved in the making of 'Belantara' (1957) directed by S Ramanathan.

P Ramlee was one time rehearsing a new song and trying out lyrics when his good friend Kwek Chip Jian (Production manager of Malay Filem Productions) entered the music studio. P Ramlee spontaneously sang a catchy chorus 'kwek kwek kwek kwek kwek kwek kwek kwek mambo ... hei mambo!" That song was called 'Kwek Mambo'.
