South of the Border (Remastered) Songtext
von Lio

If it′s a little spice you want
Come over here, it's spice we′ve got
It is a land where all is hot
Take off your coat, come here, it's real hot

We've got the basil, that′s for sure
You are an ombre, that′s for sure
Take off your gun, you won't need that
Kick off your boots and take a siesta

I, I, I, I′m south of the border
Arriba, come over

South of the border, all is slow
Riding in cars, we do not know
Going to work, we do not know
Watching the TV, that we know well

Do it tomorrow, that we say
Don't drink the water, that we say
No need for money anyway
′Cause there's nothing to buy down here


I, I, I, I′m south of the border
Arriba, come over

As for our industry, we try, as for economy, we try
As for democracy, we try, but for the moment, we don't have none
Since we don't read, and we don′t write, there ain′t a newspaper in sight
In fact, there ain't no news at all, in fact, we ain′t got problems, no, no

I, I, I, I'm south of the border
Arriba, come over

One thing we know is how to live
Don′t be concerned with anything
All of your cash will go away
Don't think I′ve seen an officer down here

So if this all has to do with you
Pack all your bags and I'll meet you
Jump on the fastest aeroplane
On second thought, we don't got no airport


I, I, I, I′m south of the border
Arriba, come over
I, I, I, I′m south of the border
Arriba, get down here
I, I, I, I'm south of the border
Arriba, get down here
