    D                          A7
I'm just gettin' back, from Juárez Mexico

                                           D
And I'll tell you something, I want you to know

                           A7
My poor head is aching, it throbs and it twirls

                                      D
From drinking tequila and teasing the girls
[Verse 2]
                            A7
Don't get me wrong, because I'm not complaining

                               D
I have no regrets, I am only explaining

                             A7
For all of you fellows, that ain't had the thrill

                                    D
Of drinking tequila and teasing the girls
[Chorus]
         A7                                                    D
Ooh ha!  Happy tonight, the maidens are dancin' out in the moonlight

            A7                                                 D
Ooh ha!  On top of the world, drinking tequila and teasing the girls
[Verse 3]
                          A7
Moonlight 'n flowers make night so appealin'

                                           D
The breeze from the garden, comes tenderly stealin'

                         A7
A beautiful maiden, then whispers your name

                                       D
And suddenly both of your hearts, are aflame
[Verse 4]
                               A7
Her dark eyes are gleamin' her raven hair shinin'

                                          D
You pull her up closer, your hearts are entwinning

                                   A7
Her warm lips are thrillin' you're out of this world

                                      D
From drinking tequila and teasing the girls
[Bridge]
        A7                                        D
Viva! Escúchame usted, tengo el dinero, vamos a café

           A7                                   D
Tee taa! Muchapateja, tequila tomare muchachas amo
[Break] | A7 | A7 D | [Verse 5]
                              A7
If down in Juárez, you should happen to be

                                         D
The Café El Gusto's the place you should see

                              A7
They claim that they have and I know it's so

                                 D
The purdiest dancers, in old Mexico
[Verse 6]
                            A7
When Spanish maidens, start squirmin' and dancin'

                                       D
It's sure to set any young heart, to romancin'

                                A7
Your troubles get lighter, your worries unfurl

                                       D
While drinking tequila and teasing the girls
[Chorus]
            A7                                                    D
Ooh ha!  So happy tonight, the maidens are dancin' out in the moonlight

            A7                                                 D
Ooh ha!  On top of the world, drinking tequila and teasing the girls
[Outro] | A7 | A7 D |
