  • 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, yeah
    Detroit, Michigan, yeah
    Detroit, Michigan, 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, yeah
    Detroit, Michigan, yeah
    Detroit, Michigan, yeah
    Detroit, Michigan, yeah
    Detroit, Michigan, oh yeah
    Detroit, Michigan, yeah Writer/s: CLARA WILLIAMS, MAC RICE, TONY CLARKE
