Lyrics: Mexico
Mexico, Mexico
They’ve got muchas, mucha-chas, amigos
…Latin features,never saw such adorable creatures
…Love to dig, ooh…the nights hereWe live it up and love it up amigo
Life begins when you’re in MexicoYou never order, water
When you order south of the border
…In to kiss a lovely senorita
Ooh.. the samba, la bamba
…I’ll go where you go
Life begins when you’re in MexicoMexico, Mexico
They’ve got muchas mucha-chas, amigos
…never saw such adorable creaturesWe’ll live it up and love it up amigo
Life begins…when you’re in…Mexico…
