  			C                                 G7 
South of the border hey I know a lad 
                                 C 
He's got more fun than anybody's had 
                                             G7 
He don't got no worry cause he don't got no dough 
                                        C 
And everybody's wondering bout Mexican Joe 
 
 
 
                                       G7 
In old Mexico they call him the Rhumba King 
                                    C 
He leads all the women around on a string 
                                     G7 
When they go out they get a million thrills 
                                          C 
But the lovely senoritas wind up with the bills 
 
 
            (Chorus) 
                                
       Dancin' romancin'  
                     G7 
       always on the go  
 
        sun shinin' down  
                     C 
        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
