Mexican holiday

I’m on a Mexican holiday

Down Ensenada Way

South of the Rio Grande

With Feliz Navidad throughout the land

I found that shaker of salt

And I know it was my own damn fault

‘Cos I partied all day long

How was I to know it would go all wrong?

Ay carumba - I had one too many Cervezas

Hey gringo - Federales are coming, so I better go

Forget the Alamo - John Wayne’s dead and I’m out of pesos

Ay carumba - I better go find my amigos

And bring mucho dinero

So away I tried to run

“Alto gringo, you drunken bum”

But you know I run too slow

They caught me in Tijuana, Mexico

Said, what have I done wrong?

“Hey señor, yea, the list is long

You done this and what have ya

We don’t need no stinking badges”

Ay carumba - I had one too many Cervezas

Hey gringo - Federales are coming, so I better go

Forget the Alamo - John Wayne’s dead and I’m out of pesos

Ay carumba - I better go find my amigos

And bring mucho dinero

So there I was, just sitting minding my own business

Enjoying a cool drink, trying to lay low

All of a sudden these cops come up and grab me

Hey, what ya doing? Get your stinking hands off me

Whaddaya doing?

Ay carumba - I had one too many Cervezas

Hey gringo - Federales are coming, so I better go

Forget the Alamo - John Wayne’s dead and I’m out of pesos

Ay carumba - I better go find my amigos

Ay carumba - I had one too many Cervezas

Hey gringo - Federales are coming, so I better go

Forget the Alamo - John Wayne’s dead and I’m out of pesos

Ay carumba (2x)
