Lyrics

Down in the Mexicali
There's a crazy little place that I know
Where the drinks are hotter than the chili sauce
And the boss is a cat named Joe

He wears a red bandana, plays a blues pianna
(In a honky-tonk down in Mexico)
He wears a purple sash and a black moustache
(In a honky-tonk down in Mexico)

Well, the first time that I saw him
He was a-sittin' on a piano stool
I said a-tell me dad, when does the fun begin?
He just winked his eye and said man, be cool

He wears a red bandana, plays a blues pianna
(In a honky-tonk down in Mexico)
He wears a purple sash and a black moustache
(In a honky-tonk down in Mexico)

(In Mexico) all of a sudden in walks this chick
(In Mexico) Joe starts playing on a Latin kick
(In Mexico) around her waist she wore three fishnets
(In Mexico) she started dancin' with the castanets
(In Mexico) I didn't know just what to expect
(In Mexico) she threw her arms around my neck
(In Mexico) we started dancin' all around the floor
And then she did a dance I never saw before

So if you're south of the border
I mean down in my Mexico
And you wanna get straight
Man, don't hesitate
Just look up a cat named Joe

He wears a red bandana, plays a blues pianna
(In a honky-tonk down in Mexico)
He wears a purple sash, and a black moustache
(In a honky-tonk down in Mexico)

Yeah, como esta usted senorita? Ha-ha-ha
Hey, come with me to the border, south of the border that is
In the Mexico, yeah, in Mexico
Yeah, you can get your kicks in Mexico
Come with me, baby, come with me
Come with me, yeah, crazy, ha-ha-ha
Yeah
