South of the border, hey, I know a lad
He's got more fun than anybody's had
He don't got no worry, 'cause he don't got no dough
And everybody's wondering bout Mexican Joe
In old Mexico they call him the Rhumba King
He leads all the women around on a string
When they go out, they get a million thrills
But the lovely senoritas wind up with the bills
Dancin' romancin' always on the go
Sun shinin' down on Mexican Joe
He makes all 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
And everybody shouts, "Viva la Mexican Joe"
He likes to gamble at poker, he's an ace
He's always so lucky with cards at ever face
At winnin' the money, he's sure a whiz
But when they win they don't collect
'Cause they don't know where he is
