Detroit Breakdown

(album: Nightmares...And Other Tales From The Vinyl Jungle - 1974)

Music is blasting, we're having a ball
Everybody's doing it right in the hall
Plaster is falling right on the floor
We're tearing it up and that's for sure

Doing the Detroit breakdown
Oh, Motor City shakedown
A-doing the Detroit breakdown
I said the Motor City shakedown

Jumping toes and everything goes
Hot night, sweating right in your clothes
I'm bittersweet for dancing feet
Everybody did it, found her right in the street

Doing the Detroit breakdown
I said Motor City shakedown
Ow, Detroit breakdown
Hey, Motor City shakedown

I'm losing touch, I'm feeling no pain
Everything is headed right down the drain
I'm getting crazy, this I swear
I'm past my limit, honey, I don't care

Doing the Detroit breakdown
Oh, Motor City shakedown
Ah, Detroit breakdown
Oh, Motor City shakedown
Breakdown

Yeah
Come on
Ow
Do it
Um
Uh
Yeah

If you're going out on, ooh, on a dare
Don't get caught, baby, found in my bed
Station to station, what you got
I'm getting ready, man, to blow my top, yeah

Ah, hands on my head and I'm holding my 'caine
Jumping up and crazy, I've gone insane
I got something mean sticking in my pocket
Until you tried it, you better not knock it

Doing the Detroit breakdown
Oh, Motor City shakedown
Yeah, Detroit breakdown
You're doing the Motor City shakedown
Let me hear ya, Jerome

Detroit breakdown
I said the Motor City shakedown
Oh, Detroit breakdown
Oh, the Motor City shakedown
Come on, babies

Now do the Detroit breakdown
You hear me? You're doing the Motor City shakedown
Let me see you baby, ah, do the Detroit breakdown
Oh, the Motor City shakedown
Shake it, shake it, baby
Yeah
Wow

Oh, you're doing the Detroit breakdown
Yeah, Motor City shakedown
Let's do the Detroit breakdown
Motor City shakedown

Doing it
Ah yeah, doing it
Doing it
Ah, doing it
The Detroit breakdown, ha
Motor City shakedown
Ow, the Detroit breakdown
Doing it, doing it, don't you say
Shake it down
