The greasers had a rumble in the furthest edge of town Now Johnny and the boys bet their money they would take the crown Push it came to shove a winner rose above Running in the street they all had enough Motor City Mama turned the boys into silly fools Motor City Mama is the queen of the neighborhood She’s always standing up and she does it for the greater good She’s the leader of the pack she’s got herself a knack Rock ‘n’ rollin’ woman she’s a cracker jack Motor City Mama keeps the boys standing in a line Motor City Mama She’s in a rush Motor City Mama She’s burning up Motor City Mama I’d love to love Motor City Mama A night is never just enough Motor City Mama is the queen of the neighborhood She’s always standing up and she does it for the greater good She’s the leader of the pack she’s got herself a knack Rock ‘n’ rollin’ woman she’s a cracker jack Motor City Mama keeps the boys standing in a line Motor City Mama She’s in a rush Motor City Mama She’s burning up Motor City Mama I’d love to love Motor City Mama A night is never just enough Motor City Mama ma ma ma ma Motor City Mama ma ma ma ma Motor City Mama ma ma ma ma ma ma Motor City Mama

Be Mine 02:05
La la la la la La la la la la Hold my hand till the end For you’re my girl and I’m your man When you say the word that soon you will Be Mine If I should forget a thing I shall recall the joy you bring When you say the word that soon you will Be Mine And then while my lips are kissing you In your smile no longer missing you Waiting for the day To see you come my way Hey hey hey Hey hey hey When you call upon my name I’ll give you love and all the same When you say the word that soon you will Be Mine And then while my lips are kissing you In your smile no longer missing you Waiting for the day To see you come my way Hey hey hey Hey hey hey Hold my hand till the end For you’re my girl and I’m your man When you say the word that soon you will Be Mine La la la la la La la la la la

about

This is the first of two double-singles leading up to BreakTime's first summer EP. It is a showcase of two Manuel compositions written at great distance of time between them. The first track entitled "Motor City Mama" is a surf rocker written in the style of The Beach Boys while the second track entitled "Be Mine" is a merseybeat tune in the style of The Beatles. Whereas "Motor City Mama" is an early 2021 effort with classic rock 'n' roll riffs in mind, "Be Mine" is a mid-2022 effort with close harmonies driving the earworm.
