Down the Mississippi where the water gets muddy

Forty-four school where the kids don't study

Well they all hang around at the root of Beale Street

Oh gonna dance all night to that Memhpis Beat

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

It's in your blood, that Memphis Beat

Whoo They're hitch-hikin' here from California

Ridin' on a Honda from Arizona

Houston, Boston, Kansas City

We got New Orleans and a doo wa diddy

Yeah, 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

It's in your blood, that Memphis Beat

Oh I'm goin' to Memphis, yeah!

(Instrumental)

Well they got people a-walkin'

And ridin' and swimmin'

Just tryin' to get a chance at them good lookin' women

Now we just march on down to the foot of Beale Street

Ah Then dance all night to that Memphis Beat

I'm going to Memphis where the beat is tough

Memphis, I can't get enough

It makes you tremble, it makes you weak

It's in your blood, that Memphis Beat

Let's go to Memphis

Where the beat is tough

I just can't get enough

I just can't get enough

I said I just can't get enough
