El Vez - Cinco de Mayo

{Verse 1}
Mexico was in the middle of a raging Civil War
Juarez tried to make things better than before
Europeans want Mexico back, it's colony
France wants to curb U.S. Manifest Destiny

{Refrain}
This is the battle ‘tween France and Mexico
This is the ballad of Cinco de Mayo

{Verse 2}
Mexico was still strong and they began attack
Spain and Britain got scared and so they headed back
Napoleon the third he wants to have it all
To colonize the Latin League but no one hears the call

{Refrain}
This is the battle ‘tween France and Mеxico
This is the ballad of Cinco de Mayo

{Verse 3}
The Battlе of Puebla was in 1862
Mexico beats France with only a few
Mexicans for their country were prepared to die-oh
This was the first Cinco de Mayo

{Refrain}
This is the battle ‘tween France and Mexico
This is the ballad of Cinco de Mayo
De Mayo
