Tijuana Taxi
Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass Lyrics

Down in old Tijuana town
We're in Tijuana, Mexico

There's this happy honkin' sound,
The sound of the Tijuana Taxi's horn is cheerful

Something you just can't put down
It's an infectious sound that you can't ignore

It's the world renown Tijuana Taxi cab.
The taxi is famous all over the world

So, you're not impressed you say
You're not convinced, perhaps you have doubts

With a beatup Chevrolet
The car is an old, worn-out Chevy

But that driver man Jose
The taxi driver's name is Jose

Knows his way around Tijuana town.
He knows the city well and can take you anywhere

Hey, ya wanna swing (You just tell Jose)
If you want to have fun and party, just tell the driver

Have yourself a fling (What-cha wanna play)
Let loose and have a good time

Meet some pretty thing? (Any time you say)
The driver will take you to meet someone attractive

Livin' like a king! (Long as you can pay)
You can live luxuriously as long as you have money

Picture post cards 'n' hot tequila
There are postcards and hot tequila available for purchase

French perfume, man, from Venezuela
There is also Venezuelan perfume for sale

When you're on a Tijuana Taxi ride!
You can have this experience if you take a ride in the Tijuana Taxi

Give those bulls a great big hand,
Applaud the bullfighters as they perform

Love that mariachi band,
Enjoy the music of the mariachi band

But the best thing in the land
However, the highlight is

Is that hand-me-down Tijuana Taxicab
The old Tijuana Taxi is the most amazing thing

So you swing and go for broke
You take chances and live dangerously

Not a penny in your poke
You don't have any money left

Got no cigarettes to smoke
You're out of cigarettes

But ya had your fling, the pretty thing
But you had fun and met someone attractive

And every-thing is ring-a-ding. O-le!
Everything is perfect, and everyone is celebrating.
