way down here
you need a reason to move
feel a fool
running your stateside games
lose your load
leave your mind behind
baby jane

ooooh mexico
you sound so simple
i just got to go
the sun's so hot
i forgot to go home
i guess i'll have to go now

americana got the sleepy eye
but his body's still shakin
like a live wire
sleepy senorita with the eyes on fire

ooooh mexico
you sound so sweet
with the sun sinkin low
the moon so bright
it could light up the night
make everything all right

baby's hungry and the money's all gone
the folks back home don't wanna talk on the phone
she gets a long letter sends back a postcard
times are hard

ooooh down in mexico
i've never really been so i don't realy know

ooooh mexico
i guess i'll have to go

ooooh mexico
i've never really been but i'd sure like to go

then ooooh mexico
i guess i'll have to go now
