 Cinco de Mayo

Cinco de Mayo, fifth of May

In the year eighteen sixty two,

A Mexican victory day,

With a defeat of the French who

Sought to take over Mexico.

General Zaragoza did lead,

Against the mighty French force foe,

His rag tag Mexicans indeed,

In the Battle of Pueblo town,

To a morale boosting big win

That in history would go down -

Mexico's freedom did begin.

Cinco de Mayo is a date

That still's a day to celebrate.
