Story Behind The Song
Should be a little inspirational...the song was meant to suggest a tale about a woman who danced in a "dyslexic" manner. The point was that, besides being an entertaining musical number, we all have issues we can overcome.

Lyrics
She?s Mambo-dyslexic
She?s a girl from Barcelona
And her dream is to return
Although she is yet to know herself
To accomplish what she yearns
She strolled into a dance hall?yes
That dark and fateful day
And discovered that her dancing shoes
could take her home to stay
PorQue?
POR QUE?She can do the hustle
She can nail the quick step
She can dance the tango
And she can learn a new step
But when she tries to mambo
Her feet begin to lock
Her left goes right her, right goes left
She has a mental block
She?s mam-bo-dys-lex-ic
mam-bo-dys-lex-ic
She?s mam-bo-dys-lex-ic
mam-bo-dys-lex-ic
She?s mam-bo-dys-lex-ic
mam-bo-dys-lex-ic
She?s mam-bo-dys-lex-ic
mam-bo-dys-lex-ic
Her mother was a dancer
Whose skill was quite adept.
Her father fell right to his death
When he should have mamboed left.
She wants to win a contest
To put her pain to rest
But her left goes right, her right goes left
yet she is not inept
She?s mambo-dys-lex-ic
mam-bo-dys-lex-ic
She?s mambo-dys-lex-ic
mam-bo-dys-lex-ic
She?s mambo-dys-lex-ic
mam-bo-dys-lex-ic
She?s mambo-dys-lex-ic
mam-bo-dys-lex-ic
Spoken:
Was it her disability that
gave her wealth and fame?
Listen if you want a clue?
Can you guess her name?
She can samba and meringue
She can dance to any beat
There is one step, the mambo,
that trips her up on her feet.
The way this woman suffered,
could win the judges heart.
What she?s done about it
Is poetry and art!
Bridge:
She mixed somba with a cha cha.
then she rumba?d to the back
But the mandatory mambo,
Will it stop her??.. in her track?
So did she win the contest?
She wowed them in a blur
What is difficult to others,
Was commonplace to her.
She made her disability
An asset yes she did?
Now she?s in Barcelona
Eating bagels topped with squid
She?s mambo-dyslexic
mam-bo-dys-lex-ic
She?s mambo dyslexic
mam-bo-dys-lex-ic
She?s mambo dyslexic
mam-bo-dys-lex-ic
She?s mambo dyslexic
mam-bo-dys-lex-ic
INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE??????????????????????
HAHA HA
She?s mambo bodacious
She?s mambo fantastic
She?s mambo creative
She?s mambo original
Spanish talking and singing to follow
Alternate verse:
So did she win the contest?
Did she wowed them in a blur
What is difficult to others,
became commonplace to her
Did she make her disability,
an asset do we know?
Is she now in Barcelona?
Is she starring in the show?
Spoken:
We all have disabilities
We all are quite unsure
When they write the story of your life??
What will they say of yours?
