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 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 all wind up with the bills

Dancin' romancin' always on the go
Sun shinin' down on Mexican Joe
[ horns ]
He makes the night spots all along the bay
People wanna 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 cards at ever 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...
[ guitar ]
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 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 he's gotta do is say so

Dancin' romancin' always on the go...
Sun shinin' down on Mexican Joe
