lyrics

I feel a hot wind on my shoulder
And the touch of a world that’s older
I turn the switch and check the number
I leave it on — in bed I slumber
I hear the rhythms of the music
I buy the product — never use it
I hear the talking of the DJ
Can't understand just what does he say?
I'm on a Mexican radio.

I dial it in and tune the station
They talk about the U.S. inflation
I understand it just a little
No comprende, it's a riddle
I'm on a Mexican radio.

I wish I was in Tijuana
Eating barbequed iguana
I'd take requests on the telephone
I'm on a wavelength far from home
I feel a hot wind on my shoulder
I dial it in south of the border
I hear the talking of the DJ
Can't understand what the hell does he say?
I'm on a Mexican radio.
Radio. Radio. Radio. Radio.
I'm on a Mexican radio.
