Lou Bega (born David Lubega on 13 April 1975) is a German mambo musician of Italian and Ugandan descent. He is most famous for "Mambo No. 5", his 1999 remake of the Pérez Prado instrumental from 1949. Bega added his own words to the song and sampled the original version extensively. Bega's musical signature consists of combining musical elements of the 1940s and 1950s with modern beats and grooves.

Baby Keep Smilin'

by: Lou Bega

It´s hot outside so for me it is a brand new day that I shall kiss
and if you feel the same way too then do the things that I'm gonna do
all you need is a mobile phone to tell everybody: we are not at home
and if you have to work all day
then listen what I got to say
Baby keep smilin´
you know the sun is shinin
baby keep smilin´ [4x]
I put on my glasses
and tell you how sweet your ass is
so would jump in my caddy
and call me your sweet sweet daddy
all we need is a mobile phone to tell everybody:we are not at home
and if you have to work all day
then listen what I got to say
Baby keep smilin´
[shup shup shup do wa]
you know the sun is shinin´.......cont...
.keep on smiling keep on shining........
