_ _ _ South of the border, hey, [A] I know a lad, he's got more fun than [D] anybody's had.
Don't got no worry, don't got [A] no dough, everybody's wondering about [D] Mexican Joe.
In old Mexico, they call him [A] Drumba King, leads all the women around [D] on the street.
When they go out, they get a [A] million thrills, but the lovely señoritas wind up with [D] the bills.
Dancing, romancing, always [A] on the go, sun shining down on [D] Mexican Joe. _ _ _ _ _

_ He makes the night spots all along [A] the bay, people want to see him when he comes [D] their way.
He spreads so much joy everywhere [A] he goes, everyone shouts viva la [D] Mexican Joe.
He likes to gamble, at poker [A] he's nays, he's always lucky with the cards [D] that got a phase.
At winning the money, he is sure [A] a whiz, but when they win they don't collect cause they
don't know [D] where he is.

_ _ He don't got no income tax cause he don't got [A] no dough, still he gets along just fine,
how we'll [D] never know.
He's got everything, he wants the girl to [A] drink a song, if we use his formula we surely
can't go [D] wrong.
His favorite playground is anywhere [A] there's girls, he's got that something that sets their
[D] hearts a whirl.
It couldn't be his money cause he ain't [A] gotta pay so, but when he wants a kiss all he gotta
[D] do is say so.
Dancing, romancing, always [A] on the go, sun shining down on [D] Mexican Joe. _

_ _ [C] _ _ _ I'm sure you've all heard about [G] Mexican Joe, and how he got along is something we'll [C] never know.
One thing we do know, he never had [G] a dime, but dancing, dancing he had a [C] jolly time.
Everyone thought that he would [G] never wed, that he'd rather turn up [C] dead instead.
But one of the girls that he let on the [G]
spring, captured a Joe, married him for [C] everything.
Fiesta, siesta, no more [G] on the go, the sun has gone on [D#] Mexican Joe.

_ [C] _ _ The night that he thrilled her as he did [G] before, his heart did a tumble and fell [C] to the floor.
He couldn't understand just exactly [G] what it was, his heart did what every young lover's [C] heart does.
The day that he married the church was [G] filled with girls, they were the same ones whose
heart he'd [C] set a whirl.
The ceremony over, he tried to kiss the [G] bride, but a thousand señoritas committed _ [C] suicide.
Fiesta, siesta, no more [G] on the go, the sun has gone on [C] Mexican Joe. _ _ _

[C] _ _ _ He had to go to work when the little [G] one arrived, who feed him tortillas to keep [C] the kid alive.
He gave up the wild life in which he was [G] so gay, oh.
He's rocking and walking the floor [C] all night and day, oh.
He still leads the nightlife just like he used [G] to do, but now he's studies instead of [C] kitchen work.
Cause little Joe says go and to grow up [G] like his dad, and he'll have more fun than [C] anybody's had.
Fiesta, siesta, no [G] more on the go, the _ _ sun on [C] Mexican Joe.
