Lyrics from the MIDI .kar music file

Way down here you need a reason to move!
Feel a fool running your stateside games!
Lose your load,
leave your mind behind, Baby James!

Oh, Mexico!
It sounds so simple I just got to go!
The sun's so hot I forgot to go home!
Guess I'll have to go now!

"Americano" got the sleepy eye!
But his body's still shaking like a live wire!
Sleepy "Señorita" with the eyes on fire!

Oh, Mexico!
It sounds so sweet with the sun sinking low!
Moon's so bright like to light up the night!
Make everything all right!

Baby's hungry and the money's all gone!
The folks back home don't want
to talk on the phone!
She gets a long letter,
sends back a postcard;
times are hard!
Sends back a postcard;
times are hard!
Sends back a postcard;
times are hard!

Oh, down in Mexico
I never really been
so I don't really know!
Oh, Mexico!
I guess I'll have to go!

Oh, Mexico!
I never really been
but I'd sure like to go!
I never really been
but I'd sure like to go!
Oh, Mexico!

Oh, Mexico!
I never really been
but I'd sure like to go!
I never really been
but I'd sure like to go!
Oh, Mexico!
I guess I'll have to go now!

Oh, Mexico!
Oh, Mexico!
Oh, Mexico!
Oh, Mexico!
Oh, Mexico!
Oh, Mexico!
Oh, Mexico!
Oh, Mexico!
Oh, Mexico!
Oh, Mexico!
