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 about 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 all 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 and at poker he's an ace
He's always lucky with the card that'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...
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
If we use his formula we surely can't go wrong
His favorite playground is anywhere there's girls
He's got that something that sets their hearts a whirl
It couldn't be his money cause he ain't got a peso
When he wants a kiss all he's got to do is say so
Dancin' romancin' always on the go...
Dancin' romancin' always on the go...
Dancin' romancin' always on the go...
