Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I met a little Spanish girl

On the fifth of May

A pretty señorita, get down

She lived in east L.A.

[Verse 2]

Dial 1 5 5, the party's alive

There was magic in the air

'Cause feets were flockin'

Pumpin' and mockin'

Dancin' everywhere

[Verse 3]

And the people say

Cinco de Mayo

Cinco de Mayo

Cinco de Mayo

Cinco de Mayo

[Verse 4]

Homeboy's cruising down the street

In a low-riding limousine

It's the funkiest thing on wheels

That I've ever seen

[Verse 5]

So we jumped inside, took a ride

The guys from the neighborhood

Tripped downtown where the people get down

And it made me feel so good

[Verse 6]

Everybody sang

Cinco de Mayo

Cinco de Mayo

Cinco de Mayo

Cinco de Mayo

[Verse 7]

From the park we heard the music

There were people all around

Some were singing, some were dancing

We could boogie down

[Verse 8]

Everybody on the street was jammin'

And the band was going strong

So we drank a little wine, we had a good time

And we partied all night long

[Verse 9]

And the people sang

Cinco de Mayo

Cinco de Mayo
