Went down to Mexico
I drove my black El Camino
I met up with an old gringo
He showed me around 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
I saw a sign for Mission Beach and so
Went way out deep into the ocean
Saw a shark and had a stroke
Back in the ambulance I go
I 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
Black bears and heat and polluted air
And 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, son, take it slow
I tried to argue but don’t you know
About California and Mexico
Right then the doctor hit the floor
The building shook and shook some more
Then 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
Black bears and heat and polluted air
And 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
Black bears and heat and polluted air
And 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
Black bears and heat and polluted air
And traffic jams beyond compare
That’s all I got to warn ya ‘bout Mexico and California
