(hoot of exultation)
We went one day about a month ago (a-ha-ha)
To have a little fu-un (a-ha) Mexico
We ended up in a gambling spot (oh yeah) a-ha-ha
Where the liquor flow-owed and the dice were hot
So here we a-are in the Tijuana Jail
Ain`t got no frie-ends to go our bail
So here we`ll sta-ay `cause we can`t pa-a-a-a-ay
Just send our ma-ail to the Tijuana Jail
I was shootin` dice, rakin` in the dough (long green)
And then I hea-ard the whistle blow
We started to run when a man in blue
Said `se?or, come with me `cause I want you.`
So here we a-are in the Tijuana Jail
Ain`t got no frie-ends to go our bail
So here we`ll sta-ay `cause we can`t pay
Just send our mail to the Tijuana Jail (shout)
Just five hundred dollars and they`ll set us free (shouted excitement)
I couldn`t raise a penny if ya threatened me
I know five `hunderd` don`t sound like much
But just try to find somebody to touch
So here we are in the Tijuana Jail
Ain`t got no frie-ends to go our bail
So here we`ll sta-ay `cause we can`t pay
Just send our mai-il to the Tijuana Jail
So here we a-are in the Tijuana Ja-a-a-a-il
Ain`t got no frie-eh-ends to go our bail
So here we`ll sta-ay `cause we can`t pa-ay
Just send our mai-il to the Tijuana Jail
