[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
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

[Chorus]
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
You can't be a drummer without rhythm (Doo doo doo)
Can't blow your horn if you ain't blue
Some folks they just ain't got it in 'em (Doo doo doo)
Tell me boy, now does that sound like you?

[Verse 2]
He's cruising with the singles
Down the margarita bar
He's boring to distraction
Pushing words and talking stars (What's your sign?)
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 got to break the ice
[Chorus]
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
You can't be a lover without rhythm (Doo doo doo)
Don't blow your horn if you ain't true
No point in playing Valentino (Doo doo doo)
He's a sham and brother so are you
I said you can't be a drummer without rhythm (Doo doo doo)
Can't blow your horn if you ain't blue
Some folks they just ain't got it in 'em (Doo doo doo)
Hey, now tell me boy, now does that sound like you?
