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 cool piano
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 sitting on a piano stool
I said, "Tell me man, when does the fun begin?"
He just winked his eye and said, "Man, be cool"
He wears a red bandana, plays a cool piano
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 dancing 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 dancing all around the floor (in Mexico)
And then she did a dance I never saw before
So if you're south of the border
I mean down in Mexico
And you wanna get straight, man
Don't hesitate
Just look up a cat named Joe
He wears a red bandana, plays a cool piano
In a honky-tonk, down in Mexico
He wears a purple sash, and a black moustache
In a honky-tonk, down in Mexico
[Spoken by Carl Gardner:]
Yeah, como está usted señorita
Come with me to the border, south of the border, that is
In Mexico, yeah in Mexico
You can get your kicks in Mexico
Come with me baby, come with me, come with me, crazy, yeah
yeah
