The Lyrics
When we were dating, my nickname for my girlfriend (now wife) was Mexicali Rose, from Bing Crosby's song. I sang the song to her just before I left for college. Now my wife is 15 months older than me, so when she turned 40 and I was only 38, I had to take advantage of the situation. Hence this parody was born. (I had to take some license with one pronounciation--please excuse me.)
Mexicali Rose, stop crying.
I'll be 40 too one of these days.
Everyday you know we both grow older.
You had a jump on me but that's okay.
Dry those big brown eyes and smile, Dear.
Blow out 40 candles; please don't faint.
You want to turn back time to 30,
But, Mexicali Rose, you "cain't".
I'll be 40 too one of these days.
Everyday you know we both grow older.
You had a jump on me but that's okay.
Dry those big brown eyes and smile, Dear.
Blow out 40 candles; please don't faint.
You want to turn back time to 30,
But, Mexicali Rose, you "cain't".
