Down In Mexico Lyrics - Singles - The Coasters

Down in the Mexicali 

There's a crazy little place that I know 

Where the drinks are hotter than the chili sauce 

And the boss is a cat named Joe 

He wears a red bandana, plays a blues pi-anna 

(In a honky-tonk, down in Mexico) 

He wears a purple sash, and a black moustache 

(In a honky-tonk, down in Mexico) 

Well, the first time that I saw him 

He was sittin' on a piano stool 

I said "a-tell me dad, when does the fun begin?" 

He just winked his eye and said "man, be cool" 

He wears a red bandana, plays a blues p-ianna 

(In a honky-tonk, down in Mexico) 

He wears a purple sash, and a black moustache 

(In a honky-tonk, down in Mexico, in Mexico) 

All of a sudden in walks this chick (in Mexico) 

Joe starts playing on a Latin kick (in Mexico) 

Around her waist she wore three fishnets (in Mexico) 

She started dancin' with the castanets (in Mexico) 

I didn't know just what to expect (in Mexico) 

She threw her arms around my neck (in Mexico) 

We started dancin' all around the floor 

And then she did a dance I never saw before 

So if you're south of the border 

I mean down in a-Mexico 

And you want to get straight, man 

Don't hesitate 

Just look up a cat named Joe 

He wears a red bandana, plays a blues pi-anna 

(In a honky-tonk, down in Mexico) 

He wears a purple sash, and a black moustache 

(In a honky-tonk, down in Mexico)
