Mexico (Video)

(Bridge:)
|: |: Mexico :| :|

In 1580, we sailed our little ship 
around the coast of Africa, down the Gaza strip
We took some salty bacon and a hammock for a bed
Then we mixed it with the Spaniards in the middle of the Med.

(Chorus:)
Well, we fired our guns, saw the pretty girls a-coming
There wasn't quite as many as there was a while ago
We fired some more and then we started running,
all down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.

Well, Francis Drake said, if you really wanna fight,
the best thing is to catch them in the middle of the night
We hoisted anchor and powdered up the gun
Then we sailed around in circles and just waited for the fun.

Well, cannon balls flew, and the ship began to sink
The water started rising, so we really had to think
And then by chance stood a man as black as coal
So we grabbed him by the trousers, and we plugged him in the hole.

Chorus

Bridge

Well, we fired from the ports and now we fired from the back
And then we fired from the galley and through every little crack
We fired so much that the cook started cooking
Didn't have to worry, so we flew the Union Jack.
