Cinco De Mayo in Memphis

Meanwhile down on Beale Street

Drinkin' in a Beale Street bar

There's a fog rollin' off the Mississippi

Has anybody seen Arkansas?

The deckhands from the towboats

Come ashore wearin' Mexican shoes

They headed straight for Graceland

It was the first thing they wanted to do

Cinco de Mayo in Memphis

Mariachis singin' the blues

Soul sisters huggin' senoritas

All sportin' blue suede shoes

Pork pie hats and sombreros

Hangin' on a downtown street

Swingin' pool cues at pinatas

Don't that river smell sweet?

And they all come to get 'em some Memphis

A little somethin' for their soul

Lowriders lined up with limousines

Hey, they all came to rock and roll

Cinco de Mayo in Memphis

Mariachis singin' the blues

Southern belles and senoritas

All sportin' blue suede shoes

Cinco de Mayo in Memphis

Mariachis singin' the blues

Soul sisters huggin' senoritas

All sportin' blue suede shoes

Me gusta las zapatas azules

¡Viva el real!

Graceland

Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen, thank you
