Cinco de Mayo Songs
Cinco de MayoOn this day we commemorate,
also we remember,
the freedom of Mexicans
and of all Americans.
On this day we sing
and we dance.
On this day we celebrate.
Today is the 5th of May!
Hooray, hooray the 5th of May!
It's the day that we celebrate our great victory.
Hooray, hooray the 5th of May!
Welcome to the party, the party, hooray!
There is music everywhere
and many bright colors
that fill our senses
and takes us into the night.
Then we are going to celebrate
playing with the pinata
that is filled with many sweets
for all to enjoy.
Hooray!
--Ken Johnson
No more rules from other lands
To take what's made from our hands.
Zaragoza fought at Puebla to win
With only untrained Mexican men.
Cinco de Mayo is coming this way,
We celebrate pride, independence and freedom this day.
So celebrate with food and song;
Let us dance all day long.
At the fiesta, listen to the mariachis play
With violins, guitars, and trumpets. Ole!
Cinco de Mayo is coming this way,
We celebrate pride, independence and freedom this day.
Tonight we dance under the twinkling stars
While a pinata overhead swings near and far.
When Cinco de Mayo comes to an end,
Fireworks will light up the sky for my friends.
Cinco de Mayo is coming this way,
We celebrate pride, independence and freedom this day.
Cinco de Mayo's Here
Tune: "Skip, Skip, Skip to My Lou"
Cinco de Mayo's here,
Cinco de Mayo's here,
Cinco de Mayo's here,
Let's give a little cheer.
Cinco de Mayo's fun,
Cinco de Mayo's fun,
Cinco de Mayo's fun,
It's fun for everyone.
