And the deckhands from the towboats Come ashore wearing Mexican shoes Headed strait for Graceland It Was the first thing they wanted to do Cinco de Mayo in Memphis Marchetti singing the blues Soul Sisters huggin Senoritas All sportin' Blue suede shoes Porkpie 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'm some Memphis A little somethin' for their souls Lowriders lined up with limousines Hey They all came to rock and roll Cinco de Mayo in Memphis Marchetti singing the blues Southern belles and Senoritas All sportin Blue suede shoes Cinco de Mayo in Memphis Marchetti singing the blues Southern belles and Senoritas All sportin Blue suede shoes
