Yeah, git you on down to Mexico
Sweet little place that you wanna go
Why don’t you hold up in old Progresso Tonight
Find yourself in the old town square
Hot Chiquita mammas and some tequila
Maybe get on up to Merida, Alright
Whoo
South of the border’s where I wanna be
Whoo
Spicy women, hot weather and its e-a-z
Mi espanol es no bueno, Chief
Pro favor, una mas tequila, please
They got a Mariachi band there in the street I like
You got to get out, get up on your feet
Do a little dinner the in the street
Don’t give no care people see you feelin nice
Find you a place to weather the storm
Jump on in, dry off and get warm
If you make it to that worm you’re gonna make it through the night
Whoo
South of the border’s where I wanna be
Whoo
Spicy women, hot weather and its e-a-z
I can find my car, someone took my keys
And it’s just the kind of place you don’t wanna leave
Let’s get to the hacienda, make it outta sight
Take a little trip to the Sunday fair
Im gonna meet a lot of real nice folks out there
They just might ask you to run for mayor this year
But that worm’s gonna get right under your hair
Old knows, you ain’t got that much to spare
End up on the hood of a keep in your underwear, man?
Now c’mon, that ain’t right!
Whoo
South of the border’s where I wanna be
Whoo
Spicy women hot weather and its e-a-z
Spent the night up the federates jail
And I could sure use some dinero so’s that I can make bail
Cuz the bullpen down here’s gettin’ mighty tight
Outta the pen, I’m gonna stroll the town
Merida to Progresso, yeah, I get around
So quiet you could hear a pin drop on the street
They say no foul begets no harm
And I got my old lady back on my arm
Now I’m gonna run for mayor, that’s why Mexico is so damn sweet
Whoo
South of the border’s where I wanna be
Whoo
Spicy booze hot women and its e-a-z
Throw around some cash, election’s won with ease
Now that’s a helluva way to get back on your feet
That’s right, you can call mr mayor if you please
Whoo
South of the border’s where I wanna be
Whoo
Can’t find my car, someone took my keys
Whoo
Just the kind of place you don’t wanna leave
Whoo, whoo…
