Mexico, Mexico
They've got muchas, mucha-chas, amigos
...Latin features,never saw such adorable creatures
...Love to dig, ooh...the nights here

We live it up and love it up amigo
Life begins when you're in Mexico

You never order, water
When you order south of the border
...In to kiss a lovely senorita
Ooh.. the samba, la bamba
...I'll go where you go
Life begins when you're in Mexico

Mexico, Mexico
They've got muchas mucha-chas, amigos
...never saw such adorable creatures

We'll live it up and love it up amigo
Life begins...when you're in...Mexico...
Recorded: 1963/01/22, first released on Fun in Acapulco

there are two versions of this lovely tepper & bennett song: one to be sung as a duett, the other - i prefer - sung by our man alone, to be heard as takes 6 and 7 on the ftd fun in a. 4 stars!

You could tell ELVIS always enjoyed singing Latin music. Maybe, he had some Latino blood in his family background. "Mexico" was one of the tunes off the "Fun In Acapulco" LP that I enjoy alot.

Always loved the soundtrack of Fun in Acapulco and the movie too. This song was actually a hit in the Netherlands at the time (peaking at #28) and is quite entertaining although it has some musical parts that sounds like this should be a duet indeed. Three stars from me.

A fun song which is delivered very well - quite catchy too.

What does one say about this one from the movie "Fun In Acapulco" It isn't bad and the scene in the movie is cute with Elvis singing it with Larry Domasion while riding a bike through the streets of Acapulco. On record, it sounds like it should still be a duet as Elvis will sing a line and then there will be nothing but music. Somehow Elvis makes it interesting and entertaining. 2 1/2 stars.

Not bad for a movie song. Its a stupid scene in the movie with that annoying kid singing, but the outtake on FTD's Out In Hollywood is very good. Thats what FTD used to be all about.
