In a little café just the other side of the border, She was a-sitting there giving me looks that made my mouth water, So I started walking her way. She belonged to bad man José, I knew, yes I knew I should leave, then I heard her say-ay-ay, "Come a little bit closer. You my kind of man, so big and so strong. Come a little bit closer. I'm all alone and the night is so long." When we started to dance, in my arms she felt so inviting That I just couldn't resist a-just a-one little kiss so exciting. Then I heard the guitar player say, "Vamos! José's on his way!" And I knew, yes I knew I should leave, but then I heard her say-ay-ay, (Chorus) {Instrumental break with shouts} Then the music stopped. When I looked the café was empty. Then I heard José say, "Man, you know you're in trouble plenty!" So I dropped my drink from my hand, out through the window I ran, And as I rode away I could hear her say to José-yay-yay (Chorus) Tag: (Tune: Refrain of La Bamba) La-la la-la la-la la-la la-la La-la la-la la-la la-la la-la Ho ho la-la La la la-la
