1. OPENING: I CAN'T TURN YOU LOOSE

Good evening ladies and gentlemen and welcome to the Universal Amphitheatre.
Well here it is, the late 1970s, going on 1985.

You know so much of the music we hear today is pre-programmed,
Electronic disco we never get a chance to hear master bluesmen practicing their craft anymore.

By the year 2006 the music known today as the blues will exist only
In the classical records department of your local public libraries.

So tonight, ladies and gentlemen, while we still can,
Let us welcome from Rock Island,
Illinois the blues band of Joliet Jake and Elwood blues.
The Blues Brothers.


2. HEY BARTENDER

I went balling the other night
I started drinking and got real tight
I blew each and all my friends
I felt so good I had to blow it again

I said Hey bartender
Hey man, looka here
A draw one, draw two, draw three, four glasses of beer

Well I saw a chick sitting on the end
I said Baby can't we be friends
You're looking sweet as you can be
Well come on down and drink with me

I said Hey bartender
Hey man looka here
Draw one, draw two, draw three, four glasses of beer

I didn't know it was half past one
I turned around to have on more
I looked at the clock and it was half past four

Hey bartender
Hey man look a here
A draw one, draw two, draw three, four glasses of beer

Well jukebox girl is everything
All the cats began to sing
I heard somebody called and said
Last round for alcohol

I said Hey bartender
Hey bartender

Hey bartender
Draw one, two, three, four glasses of beer

4. ALMOST (I GOT EVERYTHING I NEED)

I got everything I need, almost
I got everything I need, almost

And you're the thing I need the most

I got a car that I bought
Won't get me far
I gotta wish on a star
Tell me mama

I got everything I need, almost
I got everything I need, almost
But I don't got you
And you're the thing I need the most

I got friends who like me
Cause I got lots of dough

5. RUBBER BISCUIT

Bow bow bow...

Um, do that again

Bow bow bow...

Have you ever heard
Of a wish sandwich?
A wish sandwich
Is the kind of a sandwich
Where you have two slices of bread
And you wish you had some meat

Bow bow bow...

The other day
I had a ricochet biscuit
A ricochet biscuit
Is the kind of a biscuit
That's supposed to bounce back
Off the wall into your mouth
If it dont bounce back
You go hungry

Bow bow bow...

The other day
I had a cool water sandwich
And a Sunday go to meeting bun

Bow bow bow...

What do you want for nothing
A rubber biscuit

Bow bow, ooh ooh ooh


6. I DON'T KNOW

Sick and tired by the way you do
Good time papa gonna poison you
Sprinkle goofer dust all around your bed
Wake up one of these days, find your own self dead
She said you shouldn't say that
I said What did I say to make you mad this time baby?
She said Umm...
I don't know
My oh my oh my
She said I don't know but my baby's holding down

The woman I love has got devil in her jaw
Clothes she's wearing made out of the best of cloth
She can take 'em and wash 'em, put 'em upside a wall
She can throw 'em out a window, pick 'em up a little before the fall
Sometimes I think you got your habits on
She said You shouldn't say that
I said What did I say to piss you off this time baby?
She said Umm...
I don't know, my oh my, I don't know
But my baby's holding down

My momma told me, my momma sat down and cried
She said you're too young to have as many woman as you got
I looked at my mother dear, didn't even crack a smile
Said If woman don't kill me I don't mind dying
The woman I love, I want to wait for last
The woman I love, I have all class
Thought I warned you baby, a long time ago
Better watch your step or I'm going to have to let you go
She said you shouldn't say that

I said Baby
You know when you bend over I see every bit of Christmas
And when you bend back I'm looking right into the new year
She said Honey, you know I gave up cigarettes for my new year's resolution
But I didn't give up smoking
I said Woman, you going to walk a mile for a Camel
Or are you going to make like Mr Chesterfield and satisfy?
She said That all depends on what your packing
Regular or kingsize
Then she pulled out my Jim Beam, and to her surprise
It was every bit as hard as my Canadian Club
I said What now you got to say baby?
She said Umm...

I don't know
My oh my oh my
I don't know
But my baby's holding down


7. SOUL MAN

8. 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

10. 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


11. 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

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

I've been trying to get to you for a long time
Cause constantly youve been on my mind
I was thinking bout a short cut that I could take
But I found I made a mistake

I was wrong
It took too long

Fellows started to shower
You with love and affection
Now you won't look at my direction

And they're all tryin' to get in front of me
I was thinking I saw a road up ahead
But I saw a stoplight instead

On the expressway to your heart
That expressway that's the best way
That expressway to your heart
