Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Let's stay a while and watch him
He's moving into action, man
He's looking good but maybe
He's in the wrong direction, man
[Verse 2]
But he wanna get a little, get a little every night
Get a little, get a little, something for his appetite
Everybody needs to have a, a recreation
Everybody needs a little comfort for the soul
[Verse 3]
You'll never make it in a motown suit
No way to fake it, man, they're not your roots
No, you'll never make it in a motown suit
[Verse 4]
You can't be a drummer without rhythm
Can't blow your horn if you ain't blue
Some folks, they just ain't got it in 'em
Tell me, boy, now does that sound like you?
[Verse 5]
He's cruising with the singles
Down the margarita bar
He's boring to distraction
Pushing words and talking stars (What's your sign?)
[Verse 6]
He's gotta take a little, take a little on the side
Make a little, make a little, something for his appetite
Everybody needs a little lubrication
Someone with imagination gotta break the ice
[Verse 7]
You'll never make it in a motown suit
No way to fake it, man, they're not your roots
No, you'll never make it in a motown suit
[Verse 8]
You can't be a lover without rhythm
Don't blow your horn if you ain't true
No point in playing Valentino
Yeah, he's a sham and, brother, so are you
[Verse 9]
I said, you can't be a drummer without rhythm
Can't blow your horn if you ain't blue
Some folks, they just ain't got it in 'em
Now tell me, boy, now does that sound like you?
