shine my machine

quatro, suzi

down in motor city where i come from

people like their music loud

motown was born down the east side

detroit is the name of my town

factory-workers

hippies and crew-cuts

jumping up and down in their seats

in the daytime it sure looks different

but at night it's just a rock-n-roll beat

so rev my engine

shine my machine

drive me-pet me

baby

fill me with slo-gin

soul-brother likes his old motown

the greaser still likes to jive

you can't knock a rocker for rockin'

it's what keeps this city alive

soul-brother likes his old motown

the greaser still likes to jive

you can't knock a rocker for rockin'

it's what keeps this city alive
