Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well then, 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 name-a Joe
[Chorus]
He wore a red bandana, played a mean piano
In a honky-tonk down in Mexico
He had a purple sash and a black moustache
In a honky-tonk down in Mexico
[Verse 2]
The first time that I saw him
He was a-sittin' on a piano stool
And I said, "Hey, man, when does the fun begin?"
He just winked his eye and said, "Man, be cool"
[Chorus]
He wore a red bandana, played a mean piano
In a honky-tonk down in Mexico
He had a purple sash and a black moustache
In a honky-tonk down in Mexico
[Bridge]
All of a sudden in walked the chick
Joe started jammin' on a Latin kick
Around her waist she had three fishnets
And started playin' on those castanets
I didn't know just what to expect
She wrapped her arms right around my neck
We started dancin' all over the floor
And then she did a dance I never saw before
[Verse 3]
So if you're south of the border
I mean down in Mexico
And you wanna get straight
Don't hesitate, just look up a cat name-a Joe
[Chorus]
He wore a red bandana, played a mean piano
In a honky-tonk down in Mexico
He had a purple sash, and a black moustache
In a honky-tonk down in Mexico
[Bridge]
All of a sudden in walked the chick
Joe started jammin' on a Latin kick
Around her waist she had three fishnets
And started playin' on some castanets
I didn't know just what to expect
She wrapped her arms right around my neck
We started dancin' all over the floor
And then she did a dance I never saw before
[Verse 4]
So if you're south of the border
I mean down in Mexico
And you wanna get straight
Don't hesitate, just look up a cat name-a Joe
[Chorus]
He wore a red bandana, played a mean piano
In a honky-tonk down in Mexico
He had a purple sash and a black moustache
In a honky-tonk down in Mexico
