Deep in the South of Texas
  not so long ago,
  there on a crowded island
  in the Gulf of Mexico
    it didn't take too much money,
  man, but it sure was nice.
  You could dance all night if you felt all right,
  drinking whiskey and throwing dice.
    And everybody knows
  it was hard to leave.
  And everybody knows
  it was down at the Balinese.
    Yeah, I remember Ruby,
  she always dressed in red
  wearing skintight pants, Lord, and how she could dance
  with a rag wrapped around her head.
    And everybody knows
  it was hard to leave.
  And everybody knows
  it was down at the Balinese.
    And everybody knows
  it was hard to leave.
  And everybody knows
  it was down at the Balinese,
  it was down at the Balinese,
  it was down at the Balinese.
