I was down on the border on some business I'd rather not mention  Gettin' involved with a woman was not my intention  But then she came along just out walking her dog  And I loved her before I even met her  I guess sometimes intentions can change, sometimes not for the better    Well the dog didn't like me, I guess he knew where I was headin'  He bit my hand when he carried the rings at our weddin'  Mariachis played and we sang and we swayed  But they're right when they say love is blind  'Cause in a month she was gone and she only left one thing behind    Now I got a Mexican dog  I can't say his name, he don't come when I call  When he's not bitin' me his lickin' his balls  And I hate him right down to his fur  But all I got left of her is this Mexican dog    So I thought it might help if I bought him a toy at the store  He was so grateful he left somethin' for me on my floor  I kicked him out every night, but by the dawn's early light  He was back sportin' some brand new smell  I'd take him back where he came from, but I don't have directions to hell    Now I got a Mexican dog  I can't say his name, he don't come when I call  When he's not bitin' me, he's lickin' his balls  And I hate him right down to his fur  But all I got left of her is this Mexican dog.    I got a new girlfriend who couldn't stop telling me what to do  To top it all off she said she thought that little bastard was cute  I said hold on to his leash and wait right here for me  And he'll show you some tricks that he knows  And I know it was wrong, but I showed her a trick of my own    Now she's got a Mexican dog  She can't say his name, he don't come when she calls  When he's not bitin' her, he's lickin' his balls  But we're even far as I'm concerned  'Cause now that dog is hers, that Mexican dog    Now she's got a Mexican dog  She can't say his name, he don't come when she calls  When he's not bitin' her, he's lickin' his balls  And I hope she got what she deserved  Now that dog is hers, that Mexican dog
