South 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 wondering 'bout Mexican Joe. In old 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 senoritas always wind up with the bills.
Chorus: Dancin', romancin', Always on the go, Sun shinin' down on Mexican Joe
He makes the 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 likes to 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 Chorus
He don't got income tax 'cause he don't got no dough, Still he along just fine, 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 'cause he ain't got a peso, But when he wants a kiss all got to do is say so
