Went down to Mexico,nI drove my black El CaminonI met up with an old gringonHe showed me round, and said to call him Joe.nI was there about a week or so,nWound up in the general hospital,nJoe said don't drink the water no more,nHow the hell was I supposed to know?nnDrove up to San DiegonI saw a sign for Mission BeachnAnd so, went out deep into the ocean,nSaw a shark and had a stroke.nBack in the ambulance I go,nI had a dream about a girl I used to know,nShe said I got to warn ya 'bout Mexico and California.nnEarthquakes and sharks to start us off,nIf Chupacabras ain't enough,nBlack widow spiders and killer bees,nThere ain't no shade, there ain't no trees.nHot desert heat, polluted air,nAnd traffic jams beyond compare.nThat's all I got to warn ya 'bout Mexico and California.nnWoke up and said I got to go,nDoc said Relax, just take it slow.nI tried to argue, but don't you know,nBout California and Mexico?nRight then, the doctor hit the floor,nThe building shook, then shook some more,nAnd I looked down at him and swore,nYou son of a bitch! I told you so!nnEarthquakes and sharks to start us off,nIf Chupacabras ain't enough,nBlack widow spiders and killer bees,nThere ain't no shade, there ain't no trees.nHot desert heat, polluted air,nAnd traffic jams beyond compare.nThat's all I got to warn ya 'bout Mexico and California.n
