From the recording No. 5
Lyrics
Henry Ford had this big idea
Build cars and factories
So we came to Detroit City
Blacks, Jews and Hillbillies
Chorus/
We were made in the motor city
Motor city - that’s where we’re from
Made in the Motor City
Motor City number one
9 to five on the line
side by side you and me
quitting’ time we go riding in our
Detroit muscle machines
Chorus/
At the Fox we got Marvin, Martha,
the Tops, the Tempts and a Wonder who’s blind
Grande’s got the (Psychedelic) Stooges, Amboy Dukes
and the MC5
Chorus
Bridge/
Riding Woodward on a Friday night
Burnin rubber, letting off steam
We build em, we drive em
Best damn place in the world to be
Chorus
We got the dial on the ABX
making love, smoking weed
You can take me out of the motor city
But you can’t take the motor city out of me
Chorus
