You've got a bit of Mexican magic,
You've got a bit of it there in your eyes!
You've got a bit of Mexican magic,
A little touch of the tropical skies!

You've got a lot of Mexican flavour,
You've got a lot of it there on your lips!
So would you do me a Mexican favour
And maybe give me a couple of sips!

Aye, si si si!
That's all I knew in Spanish,
Aye, si si si!
But now I know much more!
Aye, si si si!
You're making my cares vanish!
So close to me
Upon the dancing floor!

For I was right in the mood to get tragic,
But then we happened to rumba by chance;
I got a bit of a Mexican magic,
And now I'm right in the mood for romance!

Aye, si si si!
That's all I knew in Spanish,
Aye, si si si!
But now I know much more!
Aye, si si si!
You're making my cares vanish!
So close to me
Upon the dancing floor!

For I was right in the mood to get tragic,
But then we happened to rumba by chance;
I got a bit of a Mexican magic,
And now I'm right in the mood for romance!

Aye, si si si!
Aye, si si si!
Oh, si si si!
