Song by The Coasters<br /><br>

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>

<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>

<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>

<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>

<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>

<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>

<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>

[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<br>

<br>
