Lyrics: Mexico

Mexico, Mexico
They’ve got muchas, mucha-chas, amigos
…Latin features,never saw such adorable creatures
…Love to dig, ooh…the nights here
We live it up and love it up amigo
Life begins when you’re in Mexico
You 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 Mexico
Mexico, Mexico
They’ve got muchas mucha-chas, amigos
…never saw such adorable creatures
We’ll live it up and love it up amigo
Life begins…when you’re in…Mexico…
