We went one day about a month ago (ha ha ha) to have a little fun (ah ha) in Mexico.
|
We ended up in a gambling spot (ha ha ha) where the liquor flowed and the dice were hot.
|
|
Chorus:
|
So, here we are in the Tijuana jail. Ain't got no friends to go our bail.
|
So, here we'll stay 'cause we can't pay. Just send our mail to the Tijuana jail.
|
|
I was shooting dice, raking in the dough (long green) and then I heard a whistle blow.
|
We started to run when a man in blue said, "Senor, come with me 'cause I want you."
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
Just five hundred dollars and they'll set us free. I couldn't raise a penny if they threatened me.
|
I know five hundred don't sound like much (cheap), but just try to find somebody to touch.
|
|
(Chorus, twice)
