Lyrics
Down the Mississippi where the water gets muddy
44 school where the kids don't study
Well, they all hang around at the root of Beale Street
Oh, that's where they hear that Memphis Beat
Oh, I'm goin' to Memphis where the beat is tough
Memphis I can't get enough
It makes you tremble and it makes you weak
Gets in your blood that Memphis Beat
Woah, they're hitchhikin' here from California
Ride on a Honda from Arizona
Houston, Boston, Kansas City
New Orleans and a doo-wa-diddy
Oh, I'm goin' to Memphis where the beat is tough
Memphis I can't get enough
It makes you tremble and it makes you weak
Gets in your blood that Memphis Beat
Oh, yeah
Well, people come a ridin' a walkin' a swimmin'
Got to get a chance at them good lookin' women
While we march down to the foot of Beale Street
Woah, gonna dance all night to that Memphis Beat
Oh, I'm going to Memphis where the beat is tough
Memphis, I can't get enough
It makes you tremble, and it makes you weak
Gets in your blood, that Memphis Beat
Oh, come on now
Let's go to Memphis
Where the beat is tough
I can't get enough
I gotta get back there
I gotta get back there
But it get's in your blood
And it makes you feel good
Woah, Memphis, Memphis, Memphis, Memphis, yeah
Woah
