1. EVERYBODY NEEDS SOMEBODY TO LOVE

We're so glad to see so many of you lovely people here tonight,
And we would especially like to welcome all the representatives of illinois law enforcement community who have chosen to join us
In the palace hotel ballroom at this time.
We do sincerely hope you'll all enjoy the show,
And please remember people, that no matter who you are, And what you do to live, thrive and survive,
There still some things that make us all the same.
You, me, them, everybody, everybody.

Everybody needs somebody
Everybody needs somebody to love (someone to love)
Sweetheart to miss (sweetheart to miss)
Sugar to kiss (sugar to kiss)
I need you you you
I need you you you
I need you you you In the morning
I need you you you When my soul`s on fire

Sometimes I feel
I feel a little sad inside
When my baby mistreats me
I never never never have a place to hide
I need you

Sometimes I feel
I feel a little sad inside
When my baby mistreats me
I never never never have a place to hide
I need you you you
I need you you you
I need you you you
I need you you you
I need you

You know people when you do find that somebody
Hold that woman, hold that man
Love him, hold him, squeeze her, please her, hold her
Squeeze and please that person, give `em all your love
Signify your feelings with every gentle caress
Because it`s so important to have that special somebody
to hold, kiss, miss, squeeze and please

Everybody needs somebody
Everybody needs somebody to love
Someone to love
Sweetheart to miss
Sugar to kiss
I need you you you
I need you you you
I need you you you...

3. 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.


4. SHE CAUGHT THE KATY

She caught the katy
And left me a mule to ride
She caught the katy
And left me a mule to ride
Now my baby caught the katy
Left me a mule to ride
The train pulled out
I swung on behind
Crazy bout her
That hard headed woman of mine

Man, my baby's long
Great gosh almighty my baby's tall
You know my baby's long
Great gosh almighty my baby's tall
Yeah my baby she's long
My baby she's tall
She's sleepin with her head in the kitchen
And her feet's out in the hall
Crazy bout her
That hard headed woman of mine

Well I love my baby
She's so fine
But I wish she'd come and see me some time
She don't believe in our love, ah
Look whatta hole I'm in
She don't believe what Im sayin
Kid look whatta shape I'm in
Huh-huh

She caught the katy
And left me a mule to ride
She caught the katy
And left me a mule to ride
Well my baby caught the katy
Left me a mule to ride
The train pulled out
I swung on behind
Crazy bout that hard headed woman
Hard headed woman of mine
Huh-huh, huh-huh


5. 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!


6. 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


7. "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


8. PETER GUNN THEME

9. SOUL MAN

Comin' to ya on a dusty road
Good lovin' I got a truck load
And when you get it you got something
So don't worry cause I'm coming

I'm a soul man

And I'll make it better each and every day

I learned how to love before I could eat
I was educated from good stock
When I start lovin' I just can't stop

I'm a soul man

Well grab the rope and I'll pull you in
Give you hope and be your only boyfriend
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm a soul man

Well now when I get the blues, gonna get me a rockin' chair
Well now when I get the blues, gonna get me a rockin' chair
When the blues overtake me, gonna rock right away from here

Give me one last kiss; hold it a long, long time
Well, hold that kiss 'til I feel it in my head like wine

Don't ever leave me, don't ever say goodbye

Flip, flop and fly
I don't care if I die
Don't ever leave me, don't ever say goodbye

To celebrate a most treasured wealthspring of contemporary music.
