Lyrics:
the world is in my arms
Mexican hill flower the sky
Sappoco see here in your eye
When I see you smile
I see the sunset of Geneva
What's that magic in
the world is in my arms
Mexican hill flower the sky
Sappoco sees here in your eye
When I see you smile
I see the sunset of Geneva
What's that magic in your
when Paul McCartney got busted in Japan
And I said we got waylaid when we set foot on Mexican soil
You see the borderman guard with a fu manchu mustach
Mexican Joe
In old Mexico, they call him the Rhumba King
Leads all the women around on a string
When they go out, they get a million thrills
But the lovely
Mexican Joe
In old Mexico they call him the Rhumba King
Leads all the women around on a string
When they go out they get a million thrills
But
When Mexican Joe met Jole Blon.
Mexican Joe was wild and reckless
He walked into a honky-tonk in Texas
Looking for some real romance and pettin'
Mexican girl that died
She had Mexican blood
He was a Mexican boy with a Mexican smile
And he drank a little tequila
He was a Mexican boy in a Mexican
Mexican puppeteer
He saw the people all lived in fear
He thought that maybe they'd listen to
A puppet telling them what to do
You know he got some
In the valley of the Rio Grande is a brown eyed Mexican maiden I want to see
In the valley of the Rio Grande in a garden of roses she said she'd wait
In my wandering days I wandered south of the border
I ended up in a little Mexican town
Was there I met a lovely senorita
There she offered her heart
I did without that gun
Give me some water 'cause I killed a man on the Mexican border
Cool, cool water
Guess you see that long, white rope
to matter that I'm lacking in the bulge
She laughs at my dumb jokes when no one does
She brings me Mexican food from Sombrero just because
And when I
People want to see him when he comes their way
He spreads so much joy everywhere he goes
Everybody shouts Viva la Mexican Joe
He likes to gamble at poker
beers between "wish you were here" and "wish you well"
When I crossed the border, I told myself
I'd say goodbye in Cozumel
Two Mexican beers between
to matter that I'm lacking in the bulge
She laughs at my dumb jokes when no one does
She brings me Mexican food from Sombrero just because
And when I
Caravan
South of
South of anywhere you can
Push me in through the garbage can
Teach this white boy to be Mexican
Take me
Mexican Caravan
Let's score some
Down in the little Mexican town of Nuevo
There lived a maiden lovely as a rose
Deep was the love of Lisa, the rose of Nuevo
For Johnny Fedavo
We had a little
Change in plans
Like when Paul McCartney
Got busted in Japan
And I said
We got waylaid
When we laid foot
On Mexican soil
See
The story began in Renosa
A village in old Mexico
A girl and a Mexican soldier
Were sweethearts, a long time ago
They made big plans for
I left, out of Tucson, with no destination in mind.
I was runnin' from trouble and the jail-term the Judge had in mind.
And the border meant
a broken hello
To the gringo she found on the seashores of old Mexico
She spoke of Sonora and swore that she'd never return
For her Mexican husband, she
on the Mexican radio
I'm on the Mexican radio
Wish I was in Tijuana -
Eating barbecued iguana
I'd take requests on the telephone
I'm on a wavelength far
the world is in my arms
Mexican hill flower the sky
Sappoco sees here in your eye
When I see you smile
I see the sunset of Geneva
What's that magic in your
Shifting my weight now from foot to foot
What did she see in this man
I'm not superstitious but if I can get
This ball in the basket
Then he'll
