«Americano» got the sleepy eye
But his body’s still shaking like a live wire
Sleepy «Se¤orita» with the eyes on fire
Oh, Mexico
It sounds so sweet with the sun sinking low
Moon’s so bright like to light up the night
Make everything all right

Baby’s hungry and the money’s all gone
The folks back home don’t want to talk on the phone
She gets a long letter, sends back a postcard; times are hard
Oh, down in Mexico
I never really been so I don’t really know
Oh, Mexico
I guess I’ll have to go
Oh, Mexico
I never really been but I’d sure like to go
Oh, Mexico
I guess I’ll have to go now
