C5                                 G5 
South of the border hey I know a lad 
                                 C5 
He's got more fun than anybody's had 
                                             G5 
He don't got no worry cause he don't got no dough 
                                        C5 
And everybody's wondering bout Mexican Joe 
 
 
                                       G5 
In old Mexico they call him the Rhumba King 
                                    C5 
He leads all the women around on a string 
                                     G5 
When they go out they get a million thrills 
                                          C5 
But the lovely senoritas wind up with the bills 
 
            (Chorus) 
                                
       Dancin' romancin'  
                     G5 
       always on the go  
 
        sun shinin' down  
                     C5 
        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 
 
 
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
