Mexican Joe

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 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 Señoritas wind up with the bills Dancin', romancin' Always on the go Sun shinin' 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 Everyone shouts, "Viva la Mexican Joe" He likes to gamble, at poker he's an ace He's always lucky with the cards that got a face At winning 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 shinin' down on Mexican Joe He don't 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 If we use his formula, we surely can't go wrong His favorite playground is anywhere there's girls He's got that somethin' 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 shinin' down on Mexican Joe
