We went one day about a month ago,
To have a little fun, in Mexico.
We ended up in a gambling spot,
Where the liquor flowed and the dice were hot.
So here we are in the Tijuana Jail,
Ain't got no friends to go our bail.
So here we'll stay cause we can't pay,
Just send our mail to the Tijuana Jail.
I was shootin' dice, rakin' in the dough,
when I heard this whistle blow.
We started to run when a man in blue,
Said, Senor, come with me, cause I want you.
Just five hundred dollars and they'll set us free.
I couldn't raise a penny if you threatened me.
I know five hundred, don't sound like much.
But just try to find, somebody to touch.
(x2)
A fabulous fifties hit from Kraziekhat.
