Lyrics
MEMPHISIZED
I've been Memphisized
From the East side to low end
And now I'm back again
To get Memphisized
We got the Grizzlies
& Redbirds too
You gotta check out the Memphis Zoo
To get Memphisized
Medical science that's state of the art
And medical doctors who are very smart
Golf parks, country clubs
We got the boy scouts & the cubs
In the middle of it all
The Bluff City is standing tall
When you visit you'll have a ball
Come on ya'll & get Memphisized
Every kind of food that you could wish
Down-home care put into every dish
A library that's second to none
Come on yawl & have some fun & get Memphisized
It's time you get Memphisized
It's time you get Memphisized
It's time you get Memphisized
When the weather gets strong & tough
We're protected by giant bluffs
Still we take it all in stride
We even have a pretty Riverside
Big muddy, our buddy
Commerce & trade
We've got it made
You outta get Memphisized
You outta get Memphisized
You outta get Memphisized
You can go downtown & just walk around
Gibson guitar is making a beautiful sound
Memphis in May
Is like a month long holiday
It's time to get Memphisized
Treat yourself to a first-class prize
You outta get Memphisized
A city that's expanding it's size
You won't believe you eyes
It's better than a winning bet
Memphis, it's the best thing yet.
I've been Memphisized
From the East side to low end
And now I'm back again
To get Memphisized
We got the Grizzlies
& Redbirds too
You gotta check out the Memphis Zoo
To get Memphisized
Medical science that's state of the art
And medical doctors who are very smart
Golf parks, country clubs
We got the boy scouts & the cubs
In the middle of it all
The Bluff City is standing tall
When you visit you'll have a ball
Come on yawl & get Memphisized
Its time you get Memphisized (repeat 3x's)
Its better than a winning bet
Memphis its the best thing yet
Big muddy, our buddy
Commerce & trade
We've got it made
You outta get Memphisized
