I must look a mess i must admit
but i have been traveling quite a bit
south of the border where the law and order
is kept by federales who just grin
and tell you they just want to be your friend
they tell you they just want to be your friend
i left for tampico last july
i jumped off that boat i almost died
There to greet us were pretty senioritas
i swore that i would not go home them
all those lovely ladies were my friends
all those sweet chiquitas they don't pretend
como esta, senorita?
That is all i really want to say
i was thrown out of the country yesterday
you see i was drinkin' doubles
causin' lots of trouble
when the man looked in the window of the bar and he grinned
and said if you come back we just may not be your friend
i don't want to see you around here again
you come back next time we may not pretend
hi dee ho boys!
