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 about 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 senoritas wind up with the bills      Dancin', romancin', always on the go   Sun shining 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 at ever face   At winnin' 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 shining down on Mexican Joe      He don't got 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 song   If we use his formula we surely can't go wrong      His favorite playground is anywhere there's girls   He's got that something 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 shining down on Mexican Joe
