Down in Mexico  The Coasters

(Intro)
[Em]Aaaaaaahhhhhh [Am]Aaaaaaahhhhhh [Em]Aaaaaaaha[B7]aaaahhhhhaaaaa[Em]hhhhhh.......[B7].
Verse 1:
[Em]Down in Mexicali, there's a crazy little place that I know, where the drinks are hotter than the chilli sauce,
And the [B7]boss is a cat named Joe...
Chorus 1:
He wears a [Em]red bandana, plays a blues piano, in a [Am]honky-tonk, down in Mexico
He wears a [Em]purple sash, and a black moustache, in a [Am]honky-tonk, down in Mexico
Verse 2:
The [Em]first time that I saw him, he was sittin' on a piano stool, I said 'tell me man when does the fun begin?'
He just [B7]winked his eye and said "Man, be cool."
Chorus 2:
He wears a [Em]red bandana, plays a cool piano, in a [Am]honky-tonk, down in Mexico
He wears a [Em]purple sash, and a black moustache, in a [Am]honky-tonk, down in Mexico
Bridge:
([B]In [D]Me[D#]xic[E]o) All of a sudden in walks this chick
([B]In [D]Me[D#]xic[E]o) Joe starts playing on a Latin kick
([B]In [D]Me[D#]xic[E]o) Around her waist she wore three fishnets
([B]In [D]Me[D#]xic[E]o) She started dancin' with the castanets
([B]In [D]Me[D#]xic[E]o) I didn't know just what to expect
([B]In [D]Me[D#]xic[E]o) She threw her arms around my neck
([B]In [D]Me[D#]xic[E]o) We started dancin' all around the floor
([B]In [D]Me[D#]xic[E]o) And then she did a dance I never saw before
Verse 3:
So [Em]if you're south of the border, I mean down in Mexico, and you wanna get straight man, don't hesitate,
Just [B7]look up a cat named Joe
Chorus 3:
He wears a [Em]red bandana, plays a cool piano, in a [Am]honky-tonk, down in Mexico
He wears a [Em]purple sash, and a black moustache, in a [Am]honky-tonk, down in Mexico
