Lyrics for Down In Mexico

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, 驴c贸mo est谩 usted, se帽orita? 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
