Desperation Samba (Halloween In Tijuana) Written by: Jimmy Buffett, Will Jennings, Timothy B.Schmidt Performed by: Jimmy Buffett Originally from the Album: Last Mango In Paris (1985) |
Jimmy’s Notes: I wound up in Mexico one day, passing through Tijuana on my way to Rosarito Beach. I was passing through the bizarre streets of this border town listening to the radio from San Diego when the DJ mentioned that it was Halloween. I looked around and realized that none of these people needed a costume. “This song brings to mind two things. First, an image of Robert Mitchum standing in the doorway of a bar in Tijuana, and second, a line by Thomas McGuane, my brother-in-law from his book PANAMA…”The night wrote a check the morning couldn’t cash.” |
Lyrics: Halloween in Tijuana Full moon in my eyes I wonder how in the hell I got here Without a disguise Should I take this last step Yo quiero a bailar en Mexico Pretty girls they beckon Don't know where I'm going Yo quiero a bailar en Mexico Hear the people singing the same old Yo quiero a bailar en Mexico |
