Текст песни Detroit - Robert B. Sherman , Richard M. Sherman

There's a shiny city west of here
Where dreams are booming into gear
It's no humm-drumm 9 to 5 town
It's a growing, going, bright, alive town

Golden sparks light up the skies there
Like a thousand 4th of Julys there
How I want to stake a claim in,
Roll up my sleeves and
Make a name in
DETROIT

You can hear it humming,
See it coming
Feel it everywhere you go
It's tomorrow morning,
The future dawning
With a bright and shining glow

It's the land where golden chariots
Are molded out of dreams
DETROIT
DETROIT
DETROIT
DETROIT
It's DETROIT

Oh, if I could be there
I'd be free there,
Standing on my own two feet
I'd invent new motors,
Design new rotors
I'd be in the driver's seat

I'd make all my dreams realities
For I'd be on my way
In DETROIT
DETROIT
DETROIT
DETROIT
In DETROIT

Others are giving their dreams a try
If others can dream there,
Why can't I?
So you see where the rainbow ends for me
Is known to the world as F.O.B. DETROIT

If you hear it humming,
See it coming,
That's the place where you must go
For to make your name there,
You must take your claim there
And let no one tell you no

Then my dreams of golden chariots
In Detroit can all come true
For you hear it humming,
And you see it coming,
And you want to be there, too
