Mexico - Les Humphries Singers

Sing Mexico, Mexico, 
Mexico, Mexico. 

In eighteen four, 
We sailed our little ship, 
Around the coast Africa, 
And down the Gaza strip. 
We took some salty bacon, 
And a hammock for a bed, 
Then we mixed it with the Spaniards, 
In the middle of the Med. 

Well we hired our funds, 
Saw the pretty girls a comin´, 
There wasn´t quite as many, 
As there was a while ago. 
We hired some more, 
And then we started runnin´, 
All down the Mississippi, 
To the Gulf of Mexico, 
Mexico, Mexico, Mexico. 

Well Francis Drake said, 
If you really want a fight, 
The best thing is to catch them, 
In the middle of the night. 
We hoisted anchor, 
And powdered up the gun, 
Then we sailed around in circles, 
And just waited for the fun. 

Well we hired our funds, 
Saw the pretty girls a comin´, 
There wasn´t quite as many, 
As there was a while ago. 
We hired some more, 
And then we started runnin´, 
All down the Mississippi, 
To the Gulf of Mexico, 
Mexico, Mexico, Mexico. 

Mexico, 
Ooooo, 
Mexico, 
Ooooo, 
Mexico, 
Ooooo, 
Mexico, 
Ooooo, 
Mexico, 
Ooooo, 
I said Me, x, i, c, o. 

Mexico, Mexico, 
Mexico, Mexico. 

We cannon balls flew, 
And the ship began to sink, 
The water started risin´, 
So we really had to think. 
And then by chance, 
Stood a man as blick as coal, 
So we grabbed him by trousers, 
And we plugged him in the hole. 

Well we hired our funds, 
Saw the pretty girls a comin´, 
There wasn´t quite as many, 
As there was a while ago. 
We hired some more, 
And then we started runnin´, 
All down the Mississippi, 
To the Gulf of Mexico, 
Mexico, Mexico, Mexico. 

Well we fired from the side port, 
And we fired from the back, 
Then we fired from the galley, 
And through every little crack. 
We fired so much, 
That the cook started to cookin, 
Didn´t have to worry, 
So we flew the union jack. 

Well we hired our funds, 
Saw the pretty girls a comin´, 
There wasn´t quite as many, 
As there was a while ago. 
We hired some more, 
And then we started runnin´, 
All down the Mississippi, 
To the Gulf of Mexico. 

Well we hired our funds,

To the Gulf of Mexico.
