SMOKEY ROBINSON

THE FRANK SINATRA OF MOTOWN,
SMOKEY ROBINSON , A LEGEND , SO PROUD.
A VOICE AS SMOOTH AS SATIN,
A STANDING OVATION , FROM ANY CROWD.
HE WAS THE ENGINE GEHIND MOTOWN,
SMOKEY WAS TOP TEN , EVERY TUNE.
THE LYRICS ROLLED WITH RYTHM,
TO MOTOWN , HE WAS THE SUN AND MOON.
SMOKEY WAS A SYMPHONY HAPPENING,
THE NOTES WERE A CREATION OF LOVE.
THE MAGIC WAS ASSEMBLY LINE,
THE CHORUS LINE , ONE STEP ABOVE.
WOULD THERE HAVE BEEN A MOTOWN,
WITHOUT SMOKEY LINING IT UP.
MANY A STAR WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN,
WITHOUT SMOKEY FILLING THEIR CUP.
