Mexican Joe

(Mitchell Torok)



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 ev'rybody's wonderin' bout Mexican Joe.



In ole 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.



--- Instrumental ---



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 ev'rywhere he goes

And ev'rybody shouts Viva la Mexican Joe.



He likes to gamble at poker he's an ace

He's always so lucky with cards that have a 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.



Dancin', romancin' always on the go

Sun shinin' down on Mexican Joe.



Dancin', romancin' always on the go

Sun shinin' down on Mexican Joe.



Well, dancin', romancin' always on the go

Sun shinin' down on Mexican Joe...
