Down In The Mexico
The Coaster Lyrics

Down in Mexicali
In the town of Mexicali

There's a crazy little place that I know
There's a strange, unique establishment that I'm familiar with

Where the drinks are hotter than the chili sauce
Where the alcoholic beverages are stronger than the spicy condiment

And the boss is a cat named Joe
And the proprietor is a man called Joe

He wears a red bandana, plays a blues pianna
He accessorizes with a red scarf and performs blues music on a piano

In a honky-tonk, down in Mexico
In a dive bar, situated in Mexico

He wears a purple sash, and a black moustache
He also sports a purple belt and a dark mustache

Well, the first time that I saw him
When I initially encountered him

He was sittin' on a piano stool
He was seated on a piano bench

I said "Tell me dad, when does the fun begin?"
I inquired, "When will the excitement commence?"

He just winked his eye and said "Man, be cool."
He simply smirked and replied, "Relax, don't get anxious."

All of a sudden in walks this chick
Suddenly, a woman enters the establishment

Joe starts playing on a Latin kick
Joe begins playing a Latin-style tune

Around her waist she wore three fishnets
She had three fishnet stockings on her waist

She started dancin' with the castanets
She began dancing while using castanets

I didn't know just what to expect
I was uncertain what to anticipate

She threw her arms around my neck
She embraced me

We started dancin' all around the floor
We began dancing all over the floor

And then she did a dance I never saw before.
She proceeded to perform a dance I had never witnessed.

So if you're south of the border
Therefore, if you happen to be in Mexico

I mean down in Mexico
To be precise, in the country of Mexico

And you want to get straight,
If you desire to become sober

Man, don't hesitate
Don't delay,

Just look up a cat named Joe.
Simply search for a gentleman called Joe.

Yeah, como est usted senorita
Yes, how are you, miss

Come with me to the border, south of the border, that is
Accompany me to the international boundary line, specifically the southern one

In Mexico, yeah in Mexico
In the nation of Mexico

You can get your kicks in Mexico
You can have a great time in Mexico

Come with me baby, come with me, come with me, crazy, yeah
Join me, my love, come with me, crazily, yes
