Went down to Mexico,

I drove my black El Camino

I met up with an old gringo

He showed me round, and said to call him Joe.

I was there about a week or so,

Wound up in the general hospital,

Joe said don't drink the water no more,

How the hell was I supposed to know?

Drove up to San Diego

Saw a sign for Mission Beach

And so, went out deep into the ocean,

Saw a shark and had a stroke.

Back in the ambulance I go,

Had a dream about a girl I used to know,

She said "I got to warn ya

'Bout Mexico and California."

She said "I got to warn ya

'Bout Mexico and California."

oh yeah

She said "I got to warn ya

'Bout Mexico and California."

Earthquakes and sharks to start us off,

If Chupacabras ain't enough,

Black widow spiders and killer bees,

There ain't no shade there ain't no trees.

hot desert heat, polluted air,

There's traffic jams beyond compare.

That's all I got to warn ya

'bout Mexico and California

Woke up and said I got to go,

Doc said "Relax, just take it slow."

I tried to argue, but don't you know,

Bout California and Mexico?

Right then, the doctor hit the floor,

The building shook, it shook some more,

I looked down at him and swore,

"You son of a bitch! I told you so!"

Earthquakes and sharks to start us off,

If Chupacabras ain't enough,

Black widow spiders and killer bees,

There ain't no shade, there ain't no trees.

Hot desert heat, polluted air,

There's traffic jams beyond compare.

That's all I got to warn ya

'Bout Mexico and California

Earthquakes and sharks to start us off,

If Chupacabras ain't enough,

Black widow spiders and killer bees,

There ain't no shade, there ain't no trees.

Hot desert heat, polluted air,

There's traffic jams beyond compare.

(silent) That's all I got to warn ya

'Bout Mexico and California

Earthquakes and sharks to start us off,

If Chupacabras ain't enough,

Black widow spiders and killer bees,

There ain't no shade, there ain't no trees.

Hot desert heat, polluted air,

There's traffic jams beyond compare.

(silent) That's all I got to warn ya

'Bout Mexico and California
