[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
He wears a red bandanna, plays a blues piano
In a honky-tonk, down in Mexico
He wears a purple sash and a black mustache
In a honky-tonk, down in Mexico

[Verse 2]
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"

[Chorus]
He wears a red bandanna, plays the blues piano
In a honky-tonk, down in Mexico
He wears a purple sash and a black mustache
In a honky-tonk, down in Mexico

[Bridge]
In Mexico
All of a sudden in walks a chick
In Mexico
Joe starts playing on a Latin kick
In Mexico
Around her waist she wore three fishnets
In Mexico
She started dancin' with the castanets
In Mexico
I didn't know just what to expect
In Mexico
She threw her arms around my neck
In Mexico
We started dancin' all around the floor
And then she did a dance I never saw before

[Verse 3]
So if you're south of the border
I mean a-down in the Mexico
And you wanna get straight, man, don't hesitate
Just look up a cat named Joe

[Chorus]
He wears a red bandanna, plays a blues piano
In a honky-tonk, down in Mexico
He wears a purple sash and a black mustache
In a honky-tonk, down in Mexico

[Outro]
Hey, ¿como esta usted senorita? Ha ha ha
Yeah, come with me to the border
South of the border that is, hehe
In Mexico, yeah
[?] Mexico
Yeah, you can get your kicks in Mexico
Come with me, baby. Come with me
Come with me, yeah
Crazy, ha ha ha
Yeah
