South of the border hey I know a lad he's got more fun than anybody's had
He don't got no worry cause he don't got no dough
And everybody's wondering bout Mexican Joe
In old Mexico they call him the Rhumba King
He 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 shinin' down on Mexican Joe
[ ac.guitar ]
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 and everybody shouts Viva la Mexican Joe
He likes to gamble at poker he's an ace he's always so lucky with cards at ever face
At winnin' the money he's 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 sun shinin' down on Mexican Joe
Dancin' romancin' always on the go sun shinin' down on Mexican Joe
Well dancin' romancin' always on the go sun shinin' down on Mexican Joe
