Thread Name: Help: Cinco De Mayo play lists
Subject: RE: Help: Cinco De Mayo play lists
1) The ONLY song I found titled Cinco de Mayo was by Liz Phair....talks about breaking up, and a bullet. Don't think that is it. 2) Lyrics for El Rey David: (No tune found yet)
Estas son las mañanitas EH-stahs sohn lahs mahn-yah-NEE-tahs these are the early little mornings
que cantaba el rey David kay kahn-TAH-bah ehl ray dah-VEED that King David sang about
