Annotationen
Die Coasters waren eine R&B-Gesangsgruppe aus Los Angeles, deren Hits oft von Leiber/Stoller geschrieben wurden und die als The Robins anfing. Als ihr Songwriter- und Produzenten-Duo nach New York ging, um für Atlantic Records zu schreiben udn aufzunehmen, ging ein Teil der Robins mit und nannte sich Coasters. Der Wechsel der Küste gab ihnen den Namen.

Lyrics
Down in Mexicali There's a crazy little place that I know Where the drinks are hotter than the chili sauce And the boss is a cat named Joe [Chorus] He wears a red bandanna, plays the blues piano In a honky-tonk, down in Mexico He wears a purple sash and a black mustache In a honky-tonk, down in Mexico Well, the first time that I saw him He was sittin' on a piano stool I said "Tell me, man, when does the fun begin?" He just winked his eye and said, "Man, be cool" [Chorus] In Mexico All of a sudden in walks a chick In Mexico Joe starts playing on a Latin kick In Mexico Around her waist she wore three fishnets In Mexico She started dancin' with the castanets In Mexico I didn't know just what to expect In Mexico She threw her arms around my neck In Mexico We started dancin' all around the floor In Mexico And then she did a dance I never saw before So if you're south of the border I mean down in the Mexico And you wanna get straight, man, don't hesitate Just look up a cat named Joe [Chorus] [Outro] Hey, como est usted senorita Come with me to Mexico City You can get your kicks in Mexico Hahaha, crazy. Come with me, baby. Come with me Ah we can watch the bull fights together Come with me, senorita. yeah... yeah...
