The Tijuana Jail

Pd… 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 (sure we did) a-ha-ha
Where the liquor flow-owed and the dice were hot

Pd… 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

Pd… 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, Señor, come with me ‘cause I want you

Pd… 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)

Pd… Just five hundred dollars and they'll set us free
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

Pd… 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

Pd… 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 …Pd.
