Down in Mexicali There's a crazy little place that I know Where the drinks are hotter than the chili sauce And the boss is a cat named Joe  He wears a red bandana, plays a blues pianna In a honky-tonk, down in Mexico He wears a purple sash and a black moustache In a honky-tonk, down in Mexico  Well, the first time that I saw him He was sittin' on a piano stool I said "Tell me dad, when does the fun begin?" He just winked his eye and said "Man, be cool"  He wears a red bandana, plays a blues pianna In a honky-tonk, down in Mexico He wears a purple sash and a black moustache In a honky-tonk, down in Mexico  All of a sudden in walks this chick Joe starts playing on a Latin kick Around her waist she wore three fishnets She started dancin' with the castanets  I didn't know just what to expect She threw her arms around my neck We started dancin' all around the floor And then she did a dance I never saw before  So if you're south of the border I mean down in Mexico And you wanna get straight Man, don't hesitate Just look up a cat named Joe  He wears a red bandana, plays a blues pianna In a honky-tonk, down in Mexico He wears a purple sash and a black moustache In a honky-tonk, down in Mexico  Yeah, como esta usted senorita Come with me to the border, south of the border, that is In Mexico, yeah in Mexico You can get your kicks in Mexico  Come with me baby, come with me Come with me, crazy, yeah
