| Album | Last Mango In Paris |
| Download | Image LRC TXT |
| Written：J.Buffett/Will Jennings/Timothy B.Schmit | |
| This song brings to mind two things. First, an image of Robert Mitchum | |
| standing in the doorway of a bar in Tijuana, and Second, a line by | |
| Thomas McGuane, my brother-in-law, from his book, PANAMA, | |
| 'The night wrote a check the morning couldn't cash.' | |
| Halloween in Tijuana | |
| Full moon in my eyes | |
| I wonder how in the hell I got here | |
| Without a disguise | |
| Should I take this last step | |
| Or turn myself around | |
| Or follow my intuition into that border town | |
| Yo quiero a bailar en Mexico [I want to dance in Mexico] | |
| We do the desperation samba con nos amigos [...with our friends] | |
| Yo quiero a bailar en Mexico | |
| We do the desperation samba con nos amigos | |
| Pretty girls they beckon | |
| From their rooms above | |
| Skeletons are dancing | |
| In the name of love | |
| Don't know where I'm goin' | |
| I don't like where I've been | |
| There may be no exit | |
| But hell I'm going in | |
| Yo quiero a bailar en Mexico | |
| We do the desperation samba con nos amigos | |
| Yo quiero a bailar en Mexico | |
| We do the desperation samba con nos amigos | |
| I hear the people singing that same old haunting tune | |
| I drink because I know it's me against the moon | |
| Yo quiero a bailar en Mexico | |
| We do the desperation samba con nos amigos | |
| Yo quiero a bailar en Mexico | |
| We do the desperation samba con nos amigos | |
| Spoken: | |
| 'Tss, tss tss' | |
| 'Hey, psst amigo!' | |
| Ooh ooh ooh ooh | |
| Ooh ooh ooh ooh | |
| Yo quiero a bailar en Mexico | |
| We do the desperation samba con nos amigos | |
| Yo quiero a bailar en Mexico | |
| We do the desperation samba con nos amigos | |
