Motown's Mexican Town

A song about Southwest Detroit aka Mexican Town

Mexican Town
Copyright 2008 by Steve Deasy

The morning sun starts her rise
Over the Ambassador Bridge she flies
From Ontario to the barrio
Buenos dias, Mexican Town!

We drive to work, Vernor Highway
Stop at the bakery on the way
Fresh bolillos, burritos
Bienvenidos Mexican Town!

Me gusta Mexican Town
I could get used to life in Mexican Town
Senors and senoritas follow me down
To Motowns Mexican Town

(And) If youd like a bite to eat
Well take a stroll down Bagley Street
Quesadillas, Tortillas
Salud, la dulce vida!

As the sun sets on the land
We hear a mariachi band
Cantamos, bailamos
Fiesta, Mexican town

At the dimming of the day
Dijimos all there is to say
Te adoro, me amor
Pleasant dreams in Mexican Town
Buenos noches Mexican Town!

To Motowns Mex...
Heres the lowdown, its Mexican
Motowns Mexican Town
