When You're Down (Funky Mambo) Songtext
von Joe Bataan

When you′re down and out

And you're sad and wanna cry
′Cause your woman's run off and left you
For some other guy

Look for someone to encourage you
That's ready and around
To take your heart and understand
When you′re up you′re up
And when you're down you′re down
To know your woman's in love with you
Is the greatest feeling I ever knew

Ooh, ooh
When you′re down
By a little mambo
When you're sad
Go say mambo

When you′re down and out


And depressed and your mind needs a rest
'Cause your paycheck is spent
You're down to your last cent
The landlord′s yelling for his rent

Look for someone to cheer you up
And make you glad that you have
Kindness, joy, love and happiness
All the things that the Lord has blessed
To know your woman′s in love with you
Is the greatest feeling I ever knew

Ooh, ooh
Na na na na na
When you're down
By a little mambo
When you′re sad
Go say mambo
When you're down and out
When you′re down and out
When you're down and out
Uh


When you′re down and out
And there's love standing by
Shouting baby wake up, try it again
You can do it, do it, do it if you try
Someone to scratch your back
And remind you when life is passing by
To check your case and make you keep pace
With the entire human race
To know your baby's love is true
Is the greatest feeling I ever knew

Ooh, ooh
Na na na na na
When you′re down
By a little mambo
When you′re sad
Go say mambo

Funky mambo
Funky mambo
Funky mambo
When you're down
By a little mambo
When you′re sad
Go say mambo
Funky mambo
Funky mambo
Funky mambo

When you're down
By a little mambo
When you′re sad
Go say mambo
Funky mambo
Funky mambo
Funky mambo
