Lyrics

Bart:

How could you, Krusty? I never lend my name to an inferior product.

Krusty:

(gasps and sobs) They drove a dump truck full of money up to my house! I'm not made of stone!

Bart:

Krusty, this camp was a nightmare! They fed us gruel! They forced us to make wallets for export and one of the campers was eaten by a bear!

Krusty:

Oh, my God! (sobs harder)

Bart:

Well, actually the bear just ate his hat.

Krusty:

Was it a nice hat?

Bart:

Oh, yeah.

Krusty:

Oh, my God! (sobs even harder than before) Well, I'm gonna make it all up to you. I'm gonna show you kids the time of your life. Get ready for two weeks at the happiest place on Earth...TIJUANA!!!!

Campers:

YAAAAAAAAAAY!!

Crooner:

South of the border - down Mexico way

That's where I fell in love, when stars above came out to play

And now as I wonder - my thoughts ever stray

South of the border - down Mexico way

She was a picture - in old Spanish lace

And just for a tender while, I kissed a smile - upon her face

For it was fiesta - and we were so gay

South of the border - Mexico way

Those mission bells told me that I must not stray

South of the border - down Mexico way

(Mariachi version of the Gracie Films logo plays)

Mexicans:

¡Olé!
