Down In Mexico (1973 Version)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] He wears a red bandanna, plays a cool pianna In a honky-tonk, down in Mexico He wears a purple sash, and a black mustache In a honky-tonk, down in Mexico [Verse 2] Well, the first time that I saw him He was sittin' on a piano stool I said "Tell me man, when does the fun begin?" He just winked his eye and said "Man, be cool." [Chorus] He wears a red bandanna, plays a cool pianna In a honky-tonk, down in Mexico He wears a purple sash, and a black mustache In a honky-tonk, down in Mexico [Bridge] (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 (In Mexico) And then she did a dance I never saw before [Verse 3] So if you're south of the border I mean down in the Mexico And you wanna get straight, man, don't hesitate Just look up a cat named Joe [Chorus] He wears a red bandana, plays a cool pianna In a honky-tonk, down in Mexico He wears a purple sash, and a black mustache In a honky-tonk, down in Mexico Hey [Outro: Carl Gardner] Yeah, ¿como esta usted senorita?
