The Motown Song Songtext
von Rod Stewart

Do, do, do, do-do
Do, do, do, do-do
Do, do, do, do-do
Do, do, do, do-do

Bring over some of your old Motown records
We′ll put the speakers in the window and we'll go
On the roof and listen to the Miracles
Echo through the alley down below
Oh, yeah

Let′s dance together just for a night
Let's don't worry about the future or nothin′ else
′Cause just like the music's sayin′
You gotta take chances
Go ahead, just do it, and trust yourself


There's a soul (there′s a soul)
in the city (in the city)
Watchin' over us tonight
There′s a soul (there's a soul)
In the city
Sayin' everything′s gonna be all right

So, bring over some of your old Motown records
We′ll put the speakers in the window and we'll go
On the roof and listen to the Miracles
Echo through the alley down below
Oh, yeah

They wish us luck
But they think we′re just dreamin'
Let′s prove them wrong, baby
'Cause you know what luck is
Luck is believing you were lucky
That′s all, and showing just a little bit of faith

There's a soul (there's a soul)
In the city (in the city)
Watchin′ over us, I swear
There′s a soul (there's a soul)
In the city
There′s a whole world waitin' out there, ah yeah


Do, do, do, do-do
Do, do, do, do-do, ah-huh
Do, do, do, do-do, oh yeah
Do, do, do, do-do

Listen, I got plans for us
Playin′ like a skip on a record
Through my head all night long
(All night long)
But when we walk that darkened stairway
And step out on the roof
I now what we're feeling
Can′t be wrong ah, yeah

Bring over some of your old Motown records
We'll put the speakers in the window and we'll go
On the roof and listen to the Miracles
Echo through the alley down below

Bring over some of your old Motown records
We′ll put the speakers in the window and we′ll go
On the roof and listen to the Miracles
Echo through the alley down below

Let the Temptations sing it one time!
Bring over some of your old Motown records
We'll put the speakers in the window and we′ll go
On the roof and listen to the Miracles
Echo through the alley down below

Here I come
Bring over some of your old Motown records
We'll put the speakers in the window and we′ll go
On the roof and listen to the Miracles
Echo through the alley down below

How sweet it is, honey
Bring over some of your old Motown records
We'll put the speakers in the window and we′ll go
On the roof and listen to the Miracles
Echo through the alley down below
