Coasters - Down In Mexico lyrics

rate me

Down in Mexicali<br />

There's a crazy little place that I know<br />

Where the drinks are hotter than the chili sauce<br />

And the boss is a cat named Joe<br />

He wears a red bandana, plays a blues pianna [this is the way he pronounces<br />

It; to rhyme with "bandana"]<br />

In a honky-tonk, down in Mexico<br />

He wears a purple sash, and a black moustache<br />

In a honky-tonk, down in Mexico<br />

Well, the first time that I saw him<br />

He was sittin' on a piano stool<br />

I said "Tell me dad, when does the fun begin?"<br />

He just winked his eye and said "Man, be cool."<br />

He wears a red bandana, plays a blues pianna<br />

In a honky-tonk, down in Mexico<br />

He wears a purple sash, and a black moustache<br />

In a honky-tonk, down in Mexico<br />

<br />

All of a sudden in walks this chick<br />

<br />

Joe starts playing on a Latin kick<br />

<br />

Around her waist she wore three fishnets<br />

<br />

She started dancin' with the castanets<br />

<br />

I didn't know just what to expect<br />

<br />

She threw her arms around my neck<br />

<br />

We started dancin' all around the floor<br />

And then she did a dance I never saw before.<br />

So if you're south of the border<br />

I mean down in Mexico<br />

And you wanna get straight,<br />

Man, don't hesitate<br />

Just look up a cat named Joe.<br />

He wears a red bandana, plays a blues pianna<br />

In a honky-tonk, down in Mexico<br />

He wears a purple sash, and a black moustache<br />

In a honky-tonk, down in Mexico<br />

[Spoken by Carl Gardner:]<br />

Yeah, como est usted senorita<br />

Come with me to the border, south of the border, that is<br />

In Mexico, yeah in Mexico<br />

You can get your kicks in Mexico<br />

Come with me baby, come with me, come with me, crazy, yeah
