Lyrics: Peso In My Pocket

Hey there senorita, don’t you wanna go
Grab a big ol’ green burrito at a Mexican show
Put on your red stilettos and get here on the double
We’ll drink margaritas til we find ourselves some troubleGot a peso in my pocket
Got a pepper in my pants
Got a poncho on my shoulder
And a cha cha in my dance
It’s always nice and crazy when I’m down in Mexico
What’s up little mama, que pasoShe loves my gringo lingo, but she’s hard to understand
I know where to find her when I cross that Rio Grande
We really get it cookin’ when we get down by the water
Like a chicken quesadilla and a red hot enchilada

Got a peso in my pocket
Got a pepper in my pants
Got a poncho on my shoulder
And a cha cha in my dance
It’s always nice and crazy when I’m down in Mexico
What’s up little mama, que paso
Yeah, what’s up little mama, que paso

Got a peso in my pocket
Got a pepper in my pants
Got a poncho on my shoulder
And a cha cha in my dance
It’s always nice and crazy when I’m down in Mexico
What’s up little mama, que paso
Yeah, what’s up little mama, que paso
Yeah, what’s up little mama, que paso
