12. 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.
13. ALMOST (I GOT EVERYTHING I NEED)
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 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
The people recognize me
Wherever I go
I don't got trouble gettin' high
But if I don't get you I believe I will die
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 everything I need, almost
I got everything I need, almost
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

15. MINNIE THE MOOCHER (ft. Cab Calloway)

Hedehedehedehe (Hedehedehedehe)
Hidehidehideho (Hidehidehideho)

And showed her how to kick the gong around
Hidehidehidehi (Hidehidehidehi)
Whoah (Whoah)
Hedehedehedehe (Hedehedehedehe)
A hidehidehideho (Hidehidehideho)
She had a dream about the king of Sweden

A diamond car with platinum wheels

16. 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!
17. 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
18. 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
19. SHOT GUN BLUES
Every night I go to sleep
The blues fall down like rain
Every night I go to sleep
The blues fall down like rain
Taking pills, cheap whiskey
Just to try to ease the pain
Well it's hard to gamble
When you lose every bet
Hard to save money
When you're twenty years in debt
The blues is falling
Falling down on me like rain
I'm gonna take a shotgun now people
And disconnect my brain
Matt 'Guitar' Murphy!
I made some mistakes
Had some bad breaks
Now my mind don't work
And my whole body aches
The blues is falling
Falling down on me like rain
My life is like water
Just swirling down the drain
Well I tried standin' up
I keep on falling down
Tried standing up
Keep on fallin' down
Everywhere I go
The blues is all around
20. "B" MOVIE BOX CAR BLUES
Caught a ride into South Dakota
With two girls in a light blue Desoto
One's name was Jane, the other was plain
But they both had racing motors
Next I caught a ride with a gamblers wife
Lay down, she had a brand new Rambler
She parked on the other side of town
She layed the Rambler down
She said she could dig if I'd knew her
(Chorus)
Doing my best to get back to you
Ain't nothing I'd rather do
Look for me Sunday, gonna be there honey
Something special just for you
Special just for you
Made a truck stop, toothpick and water
Got a ride from a fruit pickers daughter
Drove her through the night, let the fruit just right
Said All I could eat for a quarter
Next, hopped a train with a hobo woman
Said she's from Texas too
The way that she did, what she did, when she did what she did to me
made me think of you
Hey honey made me think of you
(Chorus)
Hey honey something special just for you
