[Verse 1]
    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

[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
