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 '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 wind up with the bills. Dancin', romancin', always on the go Sun shining down on Mexican Joe. He makes 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 at poker he's an ace He's always lucky with the cardsthat'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 Sun shining down on Mexican Joe. 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 And if we use his formula we surely can't go wrong. His favorite playground is anywhere there's girl He's got that something 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 got to do is say so. Dancin', romancin', always on the go Sun shining down on Mexican Joe. Sun shining down on Mexican Joe...
