Actually, it's to the tune "Frenesi" made famous by Artie Shaw's clarinet.
So many famous people in history have escaped to Mexico (including myself 
and Jessica) but I refer to Thomas Pynchon, Artie Shaw, and Frenesi Gates.
Unfortunately I couldn't find the AS arrangement  on midi but here are the
words.



                 Some time ago
                 I wandered down into old Mexico
                 While I was there
                 I felt romance everywhere
                 Moon was shining bright
                 And I could hear laughing voices in the night
                 Everyone was gay
                 This was the start of their holiday
                 It was fiesta down in Mexico
                 And so I stopped a while to see the show
                 I knew that frenesí meant "Please love me"
                 And I could say frenesí
                 A lovely señorita caught my eye
                 I stood enchanted as she wandered by
                 And never knowing that it come from me
                 I gently sighed frenesí
                 She stopped and raised her eyes to mine
                 Her lips just pleaded to be kissed
                 Her eyes were soft as candle-shine
                 So how was I to resist?
                 And now without a heart to call my own
                 A greater happiness I've never known
                 Because her kisses are for me alone
                 Who wouldn't say frenesí?

                 Bésame tu a mí
                 Bésame igual que mi boca te besó
                 Dame el frenesí
                 Qui mi locura te dió
                 Quien si no fui yo
                 Pudo enseñarte el camino del amor
                 Muerto mi altivez
                 Cuando mi orgullo rodo a tus pies
                 Quiero que vivas solo para mí
                 Y que tu vayas por donde yo voy
                 Para que mi alma sea no mas de ti
                 Bésame con frenesí
                 Dame la luz que tiene tu mirar
                 Y la ansiedad que entre tus labios vi
                 Esa locura de vivir y amar
                 Que es mas que amor frenesí
                 Hay en el beso que te di
                 Alma, piedad, corazón
                 Dime que sabes tu sentir
                 Lo mismo que siento yo
                 Quiero que vivas solo para mí
                 Y que tu vayas por donde yo voy
                 Para que mi alma sea no mas de ti
                 Bésame con frenesí
