South of the border hey I know a lad
G
He’s got more fun than anybody’s had
D7
Don’t got no worry don’t got no dough
G
Everybody’s wondering bout Mexican Joe
D7
In old Mexico they call him the Rhumba King
G
Leads all the women around on a string
D7
When they go out they get a million thrills
G
But the lovely senoritas wind up with the bills
D7
Dancing romancing always on the go
G
Sun shining down on Mexican Joe
D7
He makes the night spots all along the bay
G
People want to see him when he comes their way
D7
He spreads so much joy everywhere he goes
G
Everyone shouts Viva la Mexican Joe
D7
He likes to gamble at poker he’s an ace
G
He’s always lucky with the cards that got a face
D7
At winning the money he is sure a whiz
G
Cause they don’t know where he is
D7
Dancing romancing always on the go
G
Sun shining down on Mexican Joe
D7
He don’t got no income tax cause he don’t got no dough
G
Still he gets along just fine how we’ll never know
D7
He’s got everything he wants a girl a drink a song
G
If we use his formula we surely can’t go wrong
D7
His favorite playground is anywhere there’s girls
G
He’s got that something that sets their hearts a-whirl
D7
It couldn’t be his money cause he ain’t got a peso
G
But when he wants a kiss all he’s got to do is say so
D7
Dancing romancing always on the go
G
Sun shining down on Mexican Joe
