In Motown's heyday, Smokey shone so bright,
A legend born, with hits that took flight.
He wrote for Mary Wells, and The Temptations too,
His songs are timeless, a legacy true.
He was a talent scout, and a star in his own right,
Writing number one hits, day and night.
His music lives on, a treasure so rare,
A Motown icon, beyond compare.
But now, a lawsuit, with allegations so bold,
Four former housekeepers, with stories to be told.
They accuse Smokey, of acts so unkind,
But he denies it all, with a heart and mind.
He says they're after his money, with a scheme so sly,
Fabricating stories, to get him to cry.
His lawyers filed a motion, to dismiss the case,
Saying the women should not have had a secret place.
The women claim they feared, for their livelihoods and more,
Embarrassment and reprisal, they could not ignore.
They sought anonymity, to protect their names,
But now, their identities, are known by the games.
They're seeking $50m, in damages so grand,
A jury trial, to hear their story so planned.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, is on the case,
Investigating the allegations, with a steady pace.
Smokey welcomes the truth, with an open heart,
Exposure is powerful, a new start.
With over 4,000 credits, to his name so fine,
He's a legend, in music's shrine.
