Lyrics
I met a little Spanish girl on the fifth of May
A pretty señorita get down, she lived in East LA
Dial 1-5-5, the party's alive, there was magic in the air
The streets was rockin', poppin' and lockin', dancin' everywhere
And the people say
Cinco de Mayo
Cinco de Mayo
Cinco de Mayo
Cinco de Mayo
Homeboys cruisin' down the street in your low-ridin' limousine
It's the funkiest thing on wheels that I've ever seen
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
Everybody sang
Cinco de Mayo
Cinco de Mayo
Cinco de Mayo
Cinco de Mayo
From the park we heard the music, there were people all around
Some were singing, some were dancing, we just boogie down
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
And the people sang
Cinco de Mayo
Cinco de Mayo
Cinco de Mayo
Cinco de Mayo
Cinco de Mayo
Cinco de Mayo
Cinco de Mayo
Cinco de Mayo
Cinco de Mayo
Cinco de Mayo
