Remember the world wasn't made just for you. '

Hold out your hand to a fellow, say how-do-do,
Tell himh
a-out Krenz The Tailor, or tell two.

That's the kind of "boosting" for Detroiters to do;

Instead of one "booster" you'll soon find there's two;

So where-ever you meet a fellow, smile and take his hand
Lead him off to one of Krenz Tailoring Stands.
