Detroit, Michigan

Talkin' 'bout soul, soul, soul

Hey Memphis

Talkin' 'bout rock 'n' roll

Hey Texas

New York City's uptown grooves

A little Mississippi Delta blues

Flossin' Austin and the Boston Pops

And everybody knows that Cleveland rocks



Talkin' 'bout girls, girls, girls

California

Talkin' 'bout fine, fine girls

Oklahoma

A downtown Nashville honky-tonk

Some big fat back beat DC funk

Jacksonville and the Southern rock

In New Orleans the party never stops



Detroit, Michigan (Oh yeah)

Detroit, Michigan (Yea yea yeah)

Detroit, Michigan (Yeah yeah)



Ya heard about Marvin Gaye, we got him

Can I get a witness?

Talkin' bout Hitsville USA, we got it

How sweet it is

We got those fine, fine super Supremes

The kind of girls ya see in your dreams

When ya hear our thunderin' sound

Ya know it comes from Detroit town



Talkin' 'bout Rosa Parks, we sent her

Talkin' 'bout Henry Ford, the inventor

Talkin' 'bout Aretha, yeah we got her

The Queen of Soul

Bob Seger, yeah we got him

And that old time rock 'n' roll

Slim Shady set the world on fire

The Big Three baby and the finest cars

George Clinton's P Funk all stars

We spend our days on the line and our nights in the bars



Detroit, Michigan (Yea yea yeah)

Detroit, Michigan (Yea yea yeah)

Detroit, Michigan (Yea yea yeah)

Detroit, Michigan (Yea yea yeah)

Detroit, Michigan (Oh yeah)

Detroit, Michigan (Oh yea yea)

Detroit, Michigan (Oh I love you)

Detroit, Michigan

Detroit, Michigan (Oh yeah)

Detroit, Michigan (Ooh ooh)
