"My Girl" The Temptations
"Sugar Pie Honeybunch and It's the Same Old Song" The Four Tops
"My Cherie Amour" Stevie Wonder
"Heard It Thru the Grapevine" Marvin Gaye
"Stop In the Name of Love" The Supremes
"Chain of Fools" Aretha Franklin-all right I know this wasn't released on the Motown label, but Lady Aretha is from Detroit, so she counts.

12. Johnny's in the basement

Mixing up the medicine
I'm on the pavement
Thinking about the government
The man in the trench coat
Badge out, laid off
Says he's got a bad cough
Wants to get it paid off
Look out kid
It's somethin' you did
God knows when
But you're doin' it again
You better duck down the alley way
Lookin' for a new friend
The man in the coon-skin cap
In the big pen
Wants eleven dollar bills
You only got ten

Maggie comes fleet foot
Face full of black soot
Talkin' that the heat put
Plants in the bed but
The phone's tapped anyway
Maggie says that many say
They must bust in early May
Orders from the D. A.
Look out kid
Don't matter what you did
Walk on your tip toes
Don't try "No Doz"
Better stay away from those
That carry around a fire hose
Keep a clean nose
Watch the plain clothes
You don't need a weather man
To know which way the wind blows

Get sick, get well
Hang around a ink well
Ring bell, hard to tell
If anything is goin' to sell
Try hard, get barred
Get back, write braille
Get jailed, jump bail
Join the army, if you fail
Look out kid
You're gonna get hit
But users, cheaters
Six-time losers
Hang around the theaters
Girl by the whirlpool
Lookin' for a new fool
Don't follow leaders
Watch the parkin' meters

Ah get born, keep warm
Short pants, romance, learn to dance
Get dressed, get blessed
Try to be a success
Please her, please him, buy gifts
Don't steal, don't lift
Twenty years of schoolin'
And they put you on the day shift
Look out kid
They keep it all hid
Better jump down a manhole
Light yourself a candle
Don't wear sandals
Try to avoid the scandals
Don't wanna be a bum
You better chew gum
The pump don't work
'Cause the vandals took the handles

16. Alice's restaraunt
Edited on Sun Feb-26-06 12:23 AM by Ptah


"Shrink, You can get anything you want, at Alice's restaurant.".
And walk out. You know, if one person, just
one person does it they may think he's really sick and
they won't take him. And if two people, two people do it,
in harmony, they may think they're both faggots
and they won't take either of them.


And three people do it, three, can
you imagine, three people walking in
singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant
and walking out.


They may think it's an organization. And can you,
can you imagine fifty people a day,I said
fifty people a day walking in singin a bar of Alice's
Restaurant and walking out. And friends they
may thinks it's a movement.

And that's what it is, the Alice's Restaurant
Anti-Massacre Movement, and all you got to do to
join is sing it the next time it come's around on the guitar.
