Down in Mexico

Intro: guitar and sax solos, vocal acc.
 Em(aah)                 Am(aah)
 Em(aah)       B7(aah)     Em(aah)     B7(aah)
 
 
Em                    Em(ba-shoowa-shoowa)
Down in Mexicali,
                 Em(aah)                          Em(ba-shoowa-shoowa)
There's a crazy little place that I know.
                     Em(aah)                              Em(ba-shoowa-shoowa)
Where the drinks are hotter than the chilli sauce,
              B7                                 B7
And the boss is a cat named Joe.

           Em                   Em
He wears a red bandana, plays a blues piano,
     Am                  Em
In a honky-tonk, down in Mexico.
           Em(aah)            Am(aah)
He wears a purple sash, and a black moustache,
     Am                  Em
In a honky-tonk, down in Mexico.

Well, the first time that I saw him,
He was sittin' on a piano stool.
I said "Tell me dad, when does the fun begin?"
He just winked his eye and said "Man, be cool."

Chorus

 
Double time feel, solo drums:

(B  C# D#E) N.C.
(In Mexico) All of a sudden in walks this chick 
(In Mexico) Joe starts playing on a Latin kick 
(In Mexico) Around her waist she wore three fishnets 
(In Mexico) She started dancin' with the castanets 
(In Mexico) I didn't know just what to expect 
(In Mexico) She threw her arms around my neck 
(In Mexico) We started dancin' all around the floor 
(In Mexico) And then she did a dance I never saw before. 

So if you're south of the border,
I mean down in Mexico,
And you wanna get straight, Man, don't hesitate,
Just look up a cat named Joe.

Chorus

Ah you can get your kicks in Mexico.    Ha crazy,
                           Em(aah)             B7(aah)
