Got that feeling just the other day
Had to get me something that I can’t get back in the U.S.A.
Packed my bags, I wasn’t planning to stay
Back home they consider it a Felony, (what can I say)

(Chorus)
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Yeah, I gotta go
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Tijuana donkey show

Hopped in the driver’s seat of my ’69 (beat up)* Camero
Gone looking for something that cost a little dinero
(Headed down south to find something for a little dinero)*
A case of beer and a hand job, just 20 pesos
Back home they consider that a damn good deal
(Back home they consider that a felony. No they don’t)*

(Chorus)
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Yeah, I gotta go
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Tijuana donkey show

We hit the first donkey show that we found
Third act was from my hometown
Left home back in 1982
Got fired from her job at the petting zoo

(She)* asked me to stick around while they swept the stage
I could see the donkey getting antsy up in his cage
(So we sat drinking, thinking about the day)*
So we sat there drinking, thinking about the day
(That’s when I noticed the donkey. He was sitting up in a cage)*
The next thing you know, you wind up in a cage

(Chorus)
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Yeah, I gotta go
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Tijuana donkey show

Don’t want to talk about Tijuana
(I just can’t talk about Tijuana, no I can’t)*
Don’t want to talk about Tijuana
(I just can’t talk about Tijuana)*
Her stage name is (was)* Honky Donna
Have you ever made love with a donkey on ‘ya
I just can’t think about Tijuana
(I can’t talk about Tijuana)*
I just can’t talk about Tijuana
(I can’t, I can’t think about Tijuana)*
(Cause)* I left my heart in Tijuana

(Chorus)
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Yeah, I gotta go
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Tijuana donkey show
