        so come on, come on, come on

        Soul city
        soul city, mmmm..

I send you a lyrics update for the pre-velvet songs.
i paid attention and i could fill more gaps,
i could complete some more gaps.


soul city


people uptown
people downtown
listen close...

we're going where the cars are hip and the girls are sweet
everybody's dancing out in the streets
so c'mon c'mon c'mon
soul city...

----

tell them you that you'll have to really move
so let's go where the cars will swing and the chicks will shout
everybody there's gonna working on out
