I was down on the border on some business I'd rather not mention
Gettin' involved with a woman was not my intention
But then she came along just out walking her dog
And I loved her before I even met her
I guess sometimes intentions can change, sometimes not for the better

Well the dog didn't like me, I guess he knew where I was headin'
He bit my hand when he carried the rings at our weddin'
Mariachis played and we sang and we swayed
But they're right when they say love is blind
'Cause in a month she was gone and she only left one thing behind

Now I got a Mexican dog
I can't say his name, he don't come when I call
When he's not bitin' me his lickin' his balls
And I hate him right down to his fur
But all I got left of her is this Mexican dog

So I thought it might help if I bought him a toy at the store
He was so grateful he left somethin' for me on my floor
I kicked him out every night, but by the dawn's early light
He was back sportin' some brand new smell
I'd take him back where he came from, but I don't have directions to hell

Now I got a Mexican dog
I can't say his name, he don't come when I call
When he's not bitin' me, he's lickin' his balls
And I hate him right down to his fur
But all I got left of her is this Mexican dog.

I got a new girlfriend who couldn't stop telling me what to do
To top it all off she said she thought that little bastard was cute
I said hold on to his leash and wait right here for me
And he'll show you some tricks that he knows
And I know it was wrong, but I showed her a trick of my own

Now she's got a Mexican dog
She can't say his name, he don't come when she calls
When he's not bitin' her, he's lickin' his balls
But we're even far as I'm concerned
'Cause now that dog is hers, that Mexican dog

Now she's got a Mexican dog
She can't say his name, he don't come when she calls
When he's not bitin' her, he's lickin' his balls
And I hope she got what she deserved
Now that dog is hers, that Mexican dog
