Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Down In Mexico Lyrics
There's a little spot in MexicoToo small to be a village and not large enough to be a townJoe plays the bluesJoe plays the blues because he needs toDown in Mexicali there's a crazy little place that I knowWhere the drinks are hotter than the chilli sauceAnd the boss is a guy named JoeHe wears a red bandana plays a Blues pianoIn a little old bar in MexicoHe's a cool survivor, plays an old synthesiserAnd a honky tonk down in MexicoFirst time that I saw him, he was sitting on a piano stoolI said "Tell me Joe when does the fun begin"He just winked his eye and said "Be cool"He wears a red bandana plays a Blues pianoIn a little old bar in MexicoHe's a cool survivor, plays an old synthesiserAnd a honky tonk down in MexicoJoe plays the bluesJoe plays the blues because he needs toNeed is the ultimate monkey at the "Time Out Of Joint Café"A weird landscape of whacked-out plotsWith hi-fi loving farmers who look more like organic ghostsBeing served by misanthropic robotsJoe only plays one songOne continuous vomitific never-ending songHalf spoken in some obsolete vernacularHe tells one long story about a girlA girl he met down in MexicoHe wears a red bandana plays a Blues pianoIn a little old bar in MexicoHe's a cool survivor, plays an old synthesiserAnd a honky tonk down in MexicoJoe plays the bluesJoe plays the blues because he needs to
