Version 1[Intro] | A | A | D | [Verse 1] A South of the border, hey I know a lad D He's got more fun than anybody's had A Don't got no worry, don't got no dough D Everybody's wondering 'bout Mexican Joe A In old Mexico, they call him the rhumba king D Leads all the women around on a string A When they go out, they get a million thrills D But the lovely señoritas wind up with the bills [Chorus] A Dancin', romancin', always on the go D Sun shinin' down on Mexican Joe [Break] | D | D A | A | A D | | D | D A | A | A D | [Verse 2] A He makes the night spots all along the bay D People wanna see him when he comes their way A He spreads so much joy everywhere he goes D Everyone shouts: "Viva la Mexican Joe" A He likes to gamble, at poker he's an ace D He's always lucky with the cards that got a face A At winnin' the money, he is sure a whizz D But when they win they don't collect, 'cause they don't know where he is [Chorus] A Dancin', romancin', always on the go D Sun shinin' down on Mexican Joe [Break] | D | A | A | D | | D | A | A | D | [Verse 3] A He don't no income tax 'cause he don't got no dough D Still he gets along just fine, how we'll never know A He's got everything he wants: a girl, a drink, a song D If we use his formula, we surely can't go wrong A His favorite playground is anywhere there's girls D He's got that somethin' that sets their hearts a-whirl A It couldn't be his money 'cause he ain't got a pe-so D But when he wants a kiss all he's got to do is say so [Outro] A Dancin', romancin', always on the go D Sun shinin' down on Mexican Joe
