Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

Well, these are just a bunch of guys from Detroit
Name of Bohannon

They can play the music straight
But they thought they'd double clutch it for you

These cats sure are funky
And they thought you might dig a little dance

They wanted y'all to do the Double Clutch

Sure is funky

You see, these cats from Detroit
Bohannon and Ray

It's all over about now, y'all
We hate to leave you
But we got to go
