Van Dyke Parks
Cinco De Mayo (Narrative)
[Spoken Word]
Down on Olivera Street, a Mexicano cry
A grito, Te quiero, Te quiero, Te' adoro
This is where the Anglo gets his Latin lover's sigh
Adios muchachas y boleros, and goodbye
Salsa rumbles rafters in a chop shop filled with cars
Custom shopped and channelled
With a drag race in their stars
City of Angels, Be all you can be
Be movies, Be A-list
Be seen just to see your part
Repeat, the heartbeat in L.A
