[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]

[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 |

[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
