we went one day about a month ago ha ha ha to have a little fun ah ha in mexico
we ended up in a gambling spot ha ha ha 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 shooting dice raking in the dough long green and then i heard a whistle blow
we started to run when a man in blue said senor come with me ’cause i want you
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
just five hundred dollars and they’ll set us free i couldn’t raise a penny if they threatened me
i know five hundred don’t sound like much cheap but just try to find somebody to touch
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
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
