Lyrics
Rode a limousine to the airport
Where we caught a flight to O?Hare
Talkin to the Fabulous Thunderbirds, as we took to the air.
Touched down on a tarmac in Memphis
Our Southern cousins welcomed us there
Rented a car, had a barbecue, with plenty to spare.
Gotta get down to Memphis,
Headin? for the home of the blues
Pay my respects to the King if it?s the last thing I do.
Sang for my supper all evening
Wandered round Beale Street all day
Bands in the Park
We cooled off in the Rum Boogie Café.
Cruisin? on The Spirit of Memphis
?Rollin on the River? indeed
Pyramid and Peabody ducks make you smile guaranteed
Gotta get down to Memphis,
Headin? for the home of the blues
Pay my respects to the King if it?s the last thing I do.
Toured the Memphis Zoo and Museum
Took Union up to 706
Stopped in Sun Records where Elvis and the boys cut their hits.
Chompin? on a burger at Huey?s
Cellin? Fallin? down in my beer
Bassman Sean said ?Son you oughta move down here?
