Lyrics

A-down in a-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 "piana"
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-sitting on a "piana" 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 "piana"
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 a 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
And then she did a dance I never saw before

So if you're south of the border
I mean, a-down in a-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 "piana"
In a honky-tonk down in Mexico
He wears a purple sash and a black moustache
In a honky-tonk down in Mexico

Ey, ¿cómo está usted, señorita? Ja, ja, ja
Hey, come with me to the border
South of the border, that is
In a-Mexico, yeah
Inside 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
