might be more folks to divide the power with
but it’d be a much bigger pie
[eddie, spoken]

could hustle and muscle around town like any man
but things weren’t jiving too well

[otis, spoken]
so we changed our names to the elegance
but that wasn’t gonna last long
we were performing covers at a local talent show
and detroit’s music guru was in the building
when you hear mr. berry gordy himself, is heading to the bathroom, you suddenly have to pee really bad

[otis, spoken]
i’m a big fan of yours mr. gordy, names otis williams
[berry, spoken]
i like what you guys were doing up there, got a good sound
but you can’t always do cover songs, you understand
eventually, you’ve got to do originals
[otis, spoken]
uh yes sir, i can write originals songs too
we ready for the next step
[berry, spoken]
that’s what everyone says till they see how high the staircase is
if you fellas are really serious, give me a call on monday
and figure out a name for yourself, can’t be the elegance
already got that

[al “elbridge”, singing]
