[A]
[D] South of the border, hey, I [A] know a lad He's got more fun than [D] anybody's had
Don't got no worry, don't [A] got no dole Everybody's wondering about [D] Mexican Joe
In old Mexico they call him [A] Drumba King Leads all the women around on [D] a string
When they go out they get a million [A] thrills But the lovely señoritas wind up with the [D] bills
Dancing, romancing, always on the [A] go Sunshine and down on Mexican Joe
[A]
[D]
[A]
[D] 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 he [A] 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 that [D] got a face
At winning the money he is sure [A] of his But when they win they don't collect cause they don't know [D] where he is
Dancing, romancing, always [A] on the go Sunshine and down on [D] Mexican Joe
[A]

[A]
[D] He don't got no income tax cause he don't got [A] no dole Still he gets along just fine, how we'll never [D] know
He's got everything he wants, a girl, a [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 do [D] is say so
Dancing, romancing, always [A] on the go Sunshine and down on [D] Mexican Joe
