Mexican Joe

South of the border hey I know a lad

He's got more fun than anybody's had

Don't got no worry don't got no dough

Everybody's a wondering bout Mexican Joe

In old Mexico they call him the Rhumba King

Leads all the women around on a string

When they go out they get a million thrills

But the lovely senoritas wind up with the bills

Dancin' romancin' always on the go

Sun shining down on Mexican Joe

He makes the night spots all along the bay

People want to see him when he comes their way

He spreads so much joy everywhere he goes

Everybody shouts Viva la Mexican Joe

He likes to gamble at poker he's an ace

He's always lucky with the cardsthat's got a face

At winnin' the money he is sure a whiz

But when they win they don't collect cause they don't know where he is

Dancin' romancin' always on the go sun shining down on Mexican Joe

He don't got no income tax cause he don't got no dough

Still he gets along just fine how we'll never know

He's got everything he wants a girl a drink a song

And if we use his formula we surely can't go wrong

His favorite playground is anywhere there's girl

He's got that something that sets their hearts a whirl

It couldn't be his money cause he ain't got a peso

But when he wants a kiss all he's got to do is say so

Dancin' romancin' always on the go

Sun shining down on Mexican Joe
