South of the border, hey, I know a lad, He's got more fun anybody's had, Don't got no worry, don't got no dough, Everybody's wondering 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' down on Mexican Joe
He makes the night spots all along the bay, want to see him when he comes their way, He spreads so much joy everywhere he goes, That everyone shouts la Mexican Joe.\" He likes to gamble, at poker he's an ace, He's always lucky with the cards got a face, 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
He don't got no income tax 'cause he don't got dough, Still he gets along just fine, how we'll never know, He's got everything he wants, a girl, a drink, a song, If use his formula, we surely can't go wrong. His favorite playground is anywhere there's girls, He's got that somethin' that sets their hearts a-whirl, It couldn't be his 'cause he ain't got a peso, But when he wants a kiss all he's got to do is say so
