The late country music superstar George Jones wrote and sang quite a few standout songs. Boogie Woogie Mexican Boy (AKA Mexican Boogie) may not be among them. On the other hand, how many tunes do you know about a Mexican boy the girls like because he has “great big feet?” And how exactly did he cross the border into San Antone?
He was just a lad, not too old
Always lived in Mexico
And every day in the hot sunshine
He would dance and sing just to pass the time.Dancin’, prancin’ up the street
Not even takin’ time to eat
This little boy with the great big feet
Doing the boogie with the Mexican beat.Senorita, I ask you please
Do not sit down on my knees
I don’t like for you to tease
Love me a little but a-please don’t squeeze.
— Instrumental break —The girls they never get a chance
‘Cause he’s not a-lookin’ for romance
He gives them not one single glance
‘Cause all he likes to do is dance.How the girls would like to meet
This little boy with the great big feet
They think that he’s so doggone sweet
A doin’ the boogie with the Mexican beat.Senorita, I ask you please
Do not sit down on my knees
I don’t like for you to tease
Love me a little but a-please don’t squeeze.— Instrumental —
Then one day he chanced to roam
Across the border into San Antone
The girls there wouldn’t leave him alone
When he did the boogie like he did at home.Now this little boy I want you to know
Becaue he’s always on the go
He don’t ask anyone to form or go
A doin’ the boogie in a-Mexico.Senorita, I ask you please
Do not sit down on my knees
I don’t like for you to tease
Love me a little but a-please don’t squeeze…
