I didn't know just what to expect
He wears a red bandanna, plays a blues piano
Come with me, baby, come with me
Joe starts playing on a Latin kick
In a honky-tonk, down in Mexico
In Mexico
He wears a purple sash and a black mustache
And the boss is a cat named Joe
And then she did a dance I never saw before
In Mexico
He wears a red bandanna, plays a blues piano
So if you're south of the border
I mean down in the Mexico
He wears a purple sash and a black mustache
Where the drinks are hotter than the chili sauce
Around her waist she wore three fishnets
In Mexico
And you wanna get straight, man, don't hesitate
In Mexico
In a honky-tonk, down in Mexico
You can get your kicks in Mexico
He wears a red bandanna, plays a blues piano
I said "Tell me, dad, when does the fun begin?"
Yeah, como est usted senorita
She threw her arms around my neck
He just winked his eye and said, "Man, be cool"
In a honky-tonk, down in Mexico
He was sittin' on a piano stool
We started dancin' all around the floor
In Mexico
All of a sudden in walks this chick
In a honky-tonk, down in Mexico
South of the border, that is
Just look up a cat named Joe
She started dancin' with the castanets
In Mexico, yeah in Mexico
In Mexico
Well, the first time that I saw him
In Mexico
He wears a purple sash, and a black mustache
In a honky-tonk, down in Mexico
Come with me to the border
In a honky-tonk, down in Mexico
