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 no dough, Everybody's 'bout Mexican Joe. In old Mexico, they call him the Rhumba King, Leads all the women around on a string, When they go they get a million thrills, But the lovely senoritas always wind up with the bills.
Chorus: Dancin', romancin', Always on the go, Sun shinin' 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, That everyone shouts \"Viva la Mexican Joe.\" He to gamble, at poker he's an ace, He's always lucky with the cards that got a At winning the money, he is sure a whiz, But when they win they don't collect 'cause they don't know where he is.
Repeat Chorus
He don't got income tax 'cause he don't got no dough, Still he gets along just how we'll never know, He's got everything he wants, a girl, a drink, a song, If we use his formula, we surely can't go wrong. His favorite playground is there's girls, He's got that somethin' that sets their hearts a-whirl, It couldn't be his money he ain't got a peso, But when he wants a kiss all he's got to do is say so
