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 senor, 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
