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 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 Hot desert 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, and 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, then 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 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 Hot desert 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 Hot desert heat and polluted air And traffic jams beyond compare That's all I got to warn ya bout Mexico and California
