Lyrics

What It Is Kid

[Verse 1]

Dragging old Mustang '69

Top dropped back and looking fine

Working the groove, backing up with Scotch

Looking like Sir Lancelot

[Chorus]

What it is, brother?

What it is, kid?

Rock it like a mother

What it is?

[Verse 2]

Looking to sway by the evening shade

But I am not ready to behave

And that isn't bad on the other hand

Detroit rocks like the Rio Grande

[Chorus]

What it is, brother?

What it is, kid?

Rock it like a mother

What it is?

[Outro]

What it is? What it is?

What it is? What it is?

What it is? What it is?
