Songwriter: Little Richard

Producer: Punch Andrews Bob Seger

[Verse 1]
Line up girls, I'll show you what to do
This boat will sparkle like a diamond when we get through
By the numbers, there ain't much time
We're gonna start an assembly line

[Chorus]
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

[Verse 2]
You get the sandpaper, you get the pails
You get the hammer baby, you get the nails
You get the paint, you get the brush
'Cos we're gonna give it the special touch

[Chorus]
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

[Verse 3]
We got a magic potion that will help us win
I don't know how to spell it but dip right in
Glycooxytonic phosphate, it's the latest scoop
But it's alright girls you can call it "Goop"

[Chorus]
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

[Verse 4]
Work the sandpaper, hammer that nail
Tote that paintbrush and lift that pail
Get a rhythm going, nice and easy
Come on and use a little elbow greasey

[Chorus]
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

[Verse 5]
Okay girls, when we're all through
I'm gonna tell you what we're gonna do
We'll fall right down and have some fun
And I'm gonna kiss you all one by one

[Outro]
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Huh, Huh, Huh
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Huh, Huh, Huh
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

As a locally successful Detroit-area artist, he performed and recorded as Bob Seger and the Last Heard and Bob Seger System throughout the 1960s. By the early 1970s, he had dropped the “System” from his recordings and continued to strive for broader success with various other bands. In 1973, he put together the Silver Bullet Band, with a group of Detroit-area musicians, with whom he became most successful on the national level with the album Live Bullet, recorded live with the Silver Bullet Band in 1975 at Cobo Hall in Detroit, Michigan. On his studio albums, he also worked extensively with the Alabama-based Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, which appeared on several of Seger’s best-selling singles and albums.

In 1976, he achieved a national breakout with the studio album Night Moves. The Night Moves title track became his first Billboard Top 5 single and the album started a string six consecutive albums landing in the Billbaord Top 10. The 1980 album, Against the Wind, topped the charts.
