On the road in Mexico,   
Muchos meses have I stayed  
Soltero, but al fin, the time has come  
To hit Oaxaca and get laid.  
  
Wauh, I need me a mujer, cabron,  
And sí, a gringa chick would do,  
Just as long as she's my tipa,  
She does not need to be true.  
  
     But if I'm going to get a gringa  
     I've got to let her know  
     I'm not just one more horny gringo  
     On the road in Mexico.  
  
Well, I got me my Oaxaca shirt  
And a far-out sombrero  
And I got myself a cheap old pension 
Where the camas aren't narrow.  
  
Ya me voy mirando all the cafés  
All around the Zocalo,  
If I do not see a chica buena there  
I'll go try the Mercado.  
  
     Yes, if you're going to get a gringa,  
     You've got to make a show  
        Or you're just one more horny gringo  
        On the road in Mexico.  
  
Well, I'll flash her with my Spanish (hola, nińa)
And show her my cuarto,
Enchant her with guitarra y canción
Until she says "Yo te quiero!" 

And when I finally find her (híjole!)  
Qualquiera she may be,  
I'll love her with my pulsing corazon  
Hasta we part company.  
  
     But if I do not get a gringa,  
     Why, then I guess I know  
     That I'm just one more horny gringo  
     On the road in Mexico.
