Down in old Tijuana town,  There's this happy honkin' sound,

Somethin' you just can't put down.  It's the world renown,  Tijuana cab.  

So you're not impressed you say,  With a beatup Chevrolet,  

But that driver man Jose,  Knows his way around,  Tijuana town.  

Hey, ya wanna swing,  Have yourself a fling,  

Meet some pretty thing?  Livin' like a king!  

Picture postcards "n" hot tequila,

French perfume from Venezuela,

When your on a Tijuana taxi ride.
