Down in Mexico

In Mexico, yeah in Mexico
In a honky-tonk, down in Mexico
He wears a red bandanna, plays a blues piano
In Mexico
You can get your kicks in Mexico
Yeah, como est usted senorita

In Mexico
All of a sudden in walks this chick
In a honky-tonk, down in Mexico
Just look up a cat named Joe
In a honky-tonk, down in Mexico
He wears a purple sash and a black mustache
I mean down in the Mexico
In a honky-tonk, down in Mexico
South of the border, that is
In Mexico

Well, the first time that I saw him
I didn't know just what to expect

So if you're south of the border
She started dancin' with the castanets
Where the drinks are hotter than the chili sauce
He was sittin' on a piano stool

He wears a purple sash, and a black mustache

I said "Tell me, dad, when does the fun begin?"
She threw her arms around my neck
Joe starts playing on a Latin kick

In Mexico
In a honky-tonk, down in Mexico
He wears a red bandanna, plays a blues piano
In a honky-tonk, down in Mexico

We started dancin' all around the floor
And then she did a dance I never saw before
He just winked his eye and said, "Man, be cool"
Come with me, baby, come with me
In Mexico
He wears a purple sash and a black mustache
And the boss is a cat named Joe
Come with me to the border
Around her waist she wore three fishnets
He wears a red bandanna, plays a blues piano
In Mexico

And you wanna get straight, man, don't hesitate
In Mexico
