Mexican Joe

South of the border, hey, I know a lad
He's got more fun than anybody's had
He spread so much joy everywhere he goes
Everyone's shouts, "Viva La 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 Señoritas wind up with the bills

Dancin', romancin' always on the go
Sun shinin' 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"

Dancin', romancin' always on the go
Sun shinin' 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 drink, 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 somethin' that sets their hearts to 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 shinin' down on Mexican Joe

Sun shinin' down on Mexican Joe
