The Blues Brothers : Made in America
Lyrics
1. SOUL FINGER
Good evening everyone and welcome to the United States of America.
And indeed we have congregated here at this time
To celebrate a most treasured wealthspring of contemporary music.
It is the sound which historians in the far future might catalog
Under twentieth century pre-light admitting diode euphoric,
But today the sound lives, and tonight assembled exclusively
For your entertainment pleasure,
From the music capitals of this continent,
This is the hard working all-star showband of 'Joliet' Jake and Elwood Blues,
Ladies and gentlemen, these are the Blues Brothers.
2. WHO'S MAKING LOVE
All you fellas, gather 'round me
And let me give you some good advice
What i'm gonna, gonna ask you now
You'd better think about it twice
While you're out cheatin' on your woman
There is something i never ever dreamed of and that is
Who's making love to your old lady
While you were out making love
Who's making love to your old lady
While you were out making love
I've known so, so many fellows
All in that same old bag
Thinkin' that a woman was made to
To be beat on and treated so bad
Well now fellows, let me tell you something
Something i never ever dreamed of
Who's making love to your old lady
While you were out making love
Who's making love to your old lady
While you were out making love
I know there are some women guilty of this too
I'm not trying to run you life boy, the choice is up to you
Yeah you, you you
Reason why i ask this question
I used to be the same old way
'til i started to straighten up
I found out it was a bit too late
Oh yeah, that's when it all started
Something i never ever dreamed of
Somebody was a lovin' my old lady
While i was out making love
Somebody was a lovin' my old lady
While i was out making love
Now who's making love to your old lady
While you were out making love
Who's making love to your old lady
While you were out making love
Somebody was a lovin' my old lady
While i was out making love
3. DO YOU LOVE ME
You broke my heart 'cause I couldn't dance
You didn't even want me around
But now I'm back
To show you I can really shake 'em down
Do you love me (I can really move)
Do you love me (I'm in the groove)
Do you love me (Do you love me)
Now that I can dance
Watch me now
(Work, work) Now work it out baby
(Work, work) Oh, you're driving me crazy
(Work, work) With a little bit of soul now
Well I can mash potato (I can mash potato)
I can do the twist (I can do the twist)
Well do the funky funky chicken (Do the funky funky chicken)
Well do you like it like this (Do you like it like this)
Tell me (Tell me)

4. GUILTY
Yeah baby, yeah I've been drinkin'
And I, I shouldn't come by, no
But I found myself in trouble
And I had nowhere else to go
Got some whiskey from the barman
I got some cocaine from my friends
I gotta keep on movin'
Til I'm back in your arms again
Guilty, yes I'm guilty
And I'll be guilty for the rest of my life
How come baby, how come I never do what I'm supposed to do
How come everything I try never turns out right?
You know how it is with me baby
You know I just can't stand myself
And it takes a whole lot of medicine darling
5. PERRY MASON THEME
You know, its such a shame that its so hard to find good, Honest legal help these days.
See, the problem with my brother and me is were Recidivists--habitual criminal offenders.
No attorney wants to go near us.
I gotta find him a lawyer, and I dont know what I'm gonna do...
The D.A. was Burger
The cop was Tragg
Della was the secretary
Drake sat on the desk with Perry
6. RIOT IN BLOCK NUMBER NINE
It was December the sixth 1983
I was doin' time for armed robbery
At four in the morning, I was sitting in my cell
I heard a whistle blow, and I heard somebody yell
There's a riot going on
There's a riot going on
There's a riot going on
Up in cell block number nine
Our warden said Come out with your hands up in the air
If you don't stop this riot you're all gonna get the chair
And Scarface Jones said It's too late to quit
Pass the dynamite, don't you give me any shit
There's a riot going on
There's a riot going on
There's a riot going on
Up in cell block number nine
On the 47th hour the nerve gas got our men
We're all back in our cells but every now and then
There's a riot going on
There's a riot going on
There's a riot going on
Up in cellblock number nine
Up in cellblock number nine
Up in cellblock number nine
7. GREEN ONIONS
All right people.
The rest of the hard working all star blues brothers are gonna be out here in a minute,
Including my little brother jake. but right now,
I’d like to talk a little bit about thi
E you’re hearing. this is ofcourse the green onions tune. It was a very big hit in the early sixties in this country.
And ofcourse it was composed and recorded in memphis, Tennessee, right here
E united states of america.
You know, people,
I believe that this tune can be acquinted
With the great classical music around the world.
Now you go to germany, you’ve got your bach, your beethoven, your brahms...
Here in america you’ve got your fred mcdowell,
Your irving berlin, your glenn miller,
And your booker t and the mg’s
Ple. another example of the great contributions in music And culture that this country has made around the world. And as you look around the world today,
You see this country spurned.
You see backs turned on this country. well people,
I’m gonna tell you something, this continent, north america,
Is the stronghold! this is where we’re gonna make our stand in this decade! yeah,
E, I’ve got something to say to the state department.
I say take that archaic monroe doctrine,
And that marshall plan that says we’re supposed to police force the world,
And throw ’em out! let’s
Home for the next ten years people!
Right here in north america
And enjoy the music and culture that is ours.
Yeah, I got one more thing to say.
I’m just talking about the music, people,
And what it does to me.
And that is, as you look around the world,
You go to the soviet union or great britain or france,
You name it, any country... ev
Dy is doing flips and twists just to get into a genuine pair of american blue jeans!
And to hear this music and we got it all here in america,
The land of the chrysler 440 cubic inch engine!
8. I AIN'T GOT YOU
I've got a '65 Cadillac
Spare tire on the back
Charge card at Goblatts
But I ain't got you
I've got women to the right of me
Women to the left of me
I've got chicks all around me
But I ain't got you
I've got a tavern, a liquor store
I hit the number, 444
I got a mojo, don't you know
I'm all dressed up with no place to go
I've got women to the left of me
I've got women to the right of me
I've got chicks all around me
But I ain't got you
No I ain't go you
I've got a tavern, a liquor store
I hit the number, 444
I got a mojo, don't you know
I'm all dressed up with no place to go
I've got a pocket of crumpled bills
I've got a stomach full of pills
I've got Fanny Fox and Rubber Mills
But I ain't got you
No I ain't got you
No I ain't got you
