She's [B] Bones
[Ebm] Oh [Abm] yeah, Bones
Down [Eb]
[Bb] [Ebm]
[Bb] [Ebm]
in the mix of Cali
One, two, one, two, one, two
There's a crowd I know
One, two, one, two, one, two
Where the drinks are hotter
Than the chili sauce
Two, one, two, one, two
And [Bb] the boss is Catmaine Joe
He [Ebm] wears a red bandana
Plays a blue piano
In [Abm] a honky tonk
[Ebm] Down in Mexico
He wears a purple sash
Had [Abm] a flash
In a honky tonk
Down in [Ebm] Mexico
Well, the first time that I saw him
He was a-sittin' on a piano stool
I said, a [Ebm] very bad twin
Does a bunch again
He [Bb] just winked his eye and said
He wears a red bandana
Plays a cool piano
In [Abm] a honky tonk
[Ebm] Down in Mexico
He wears a purple sash
[Abm] In a honky tonk
[Ebm] Down in Mexico In [Eb] Mexico
All of a [Ab] sudden it was a chick In Mexico
Joe starts [G] playin' on a Latin kick In [Ab] Mexico
Around her waist she wore three fishnets
In Mexico
[Bm] She started dancing with a [Gm] castanet In Mexico
[A] I didn't know just what to [Eb] expect In [Ab] Mexico
She threw her arms around my neck In Mexico
We started dancing all around the floor In Mexico
And then she did a dance I [B] never saw before
So, [Ebm] in the loud club I'm gonna Choo-wop
Chime in a down in Mexico
Choo-wop Choo-wop
And you wanna get straight, man Don't hesitate
Just [Bb] look up a castanet Joe
He [Ebm] wears a red bandana
Play some tune, Diana
[Abm] In a honky tonk
[Db] Down in [Ebm]
Mexico
He wears a purple [Gb] sash
[Abm]
In a honky tonk
[Ebm] Down in Mexico In Mexico
All of a sudden [Bb] it was a chick In [Ebm] [Bb] Mexico In Mexico
All [Eb] of a sudden it was a chick In [Ebm] Mexico
[Bb]
In Mexico In Mexico
All [Ebm] of a sudden it was a chick
Hey baby, come with [Bb] me, we can watch the bull [Eb] fight together.
[Bb]
