1. LOOKIN' OUT FOR NO 1

Ev'ry day is an endless train, you got to ride it to the End of the line,
Be a troubleshooter, blow the bad luck away,
And you will make it to your station on time.
And you'll find out ev'ry trick in the book
And that there's only way to get things done
You'll find out the only way to the top is lookin' out for Number one,
I mean you, keep looking out for number one.

Ev'ry night is a different game, we gotta work for our Fortune and fame,
Success is a ladder, take a step at a time,
And the people will remember you name.
Yes, I found out all the tricks of the trade,
And that there's only one way you're gonna get things done
I found out the only way to the top is lookin' out for Number one,
And that's me, I'm looking out for number one.

Ev'ry day is an endless train, but I ride it to end of the Line,
I'm a real troubleshooter, and I blow it away,
No one's gonna get what's mine,
I found out ev'ry trick in the book
And that there's only way to get things done
I found out the only way to the top is lookin' out for Number one,
I mean you, keep looking out for number one.
And that's us; keep lookin' out for number one,
That's me; I'm looking out for number one


2. ROLL ON DOWN THE HIGHWAY

We rented a truck and a semi to go
Travel down the long and winding road
Look on the map I think we've been here before,
Close the doors let's roll once more.

Cop on the corner, look he's startin' to write
I don't need no ticket so I screamed out of sight,
Drove so fast that my eyes can't see,
Look in the mirror is he still followin' me?

Let it roll down the highway
Let it roll down the highway,
Roll, roll.

Look at the sign, we're in the wrong place
Come on boys, let's get ready to race
454 coming over the hill
The man on patrol, is going to give us a bill.

The time's real short, you know the distance is long
I'd rather have a jet but it's not in the song
Climb back in the cab, cross your fingers for luck
We gotta keep movie' if we're going to make a buck.

Let it roll down the highway, . . .


3. HEY YOU

Hey you, you say you wanna change the world
It's alright, with me there's no regret
It's my turn, the circle game has brought me here
And I won't let down 'till every song is set

You realize now
You should have tried now, oooh
The music's gone now
You lost it somehow
Hey you, sha lalala
Hey you, sha lalala
Wooo, sha la la
Wooo, sha la la

Hey you, you say the race is much too fast
It's okay, with me I'm keeping pace
It's my game, the music is inside my head
For every one on top there's one who can't retrace

You realize now
You should have tried now, oooh ooh
The music's gone now, you'll find out
You lost it somehow
Hey you, sha lalala
Hey you, sha lalala
Wooo, sha la la la
Wooo, sha la la la

You realize now oooh
You could have died now, oooh
The music's gone now
You lost it somehow
Hey you, hey you, sha lalala
Hey you, sha lalala
Wooo, sha la la
Wooo, sha la la

Sha lalala, hey you, hey you, hey you
Sha lalala, ba-ba-ba-baby's stupid
Sha lalala, no time, no time left, no time
Sha lalala, don't let me down, don't let me down


4. FREEWAYS

Drivin' in a beat up car
The highway is long but we've come so far
Two thousand miles from home
We got to find someplace that we can belong

But, we know, the freeways in life are all pointing us home
Don't you know, nothing in this life could mean anymore
Freeways, freeways

Headin' out into the sun
We've been to the stars, and we've only begun
Nothin's gonna change our mind
There's songs to be sung, but we've left them behind


5. TAKIN' CARE OF BUSINESS

You get up every morning
From your alarm clock's warning
Take the 8:15 into the city
There's a whistle up above
And people pushin', people shovin'
And the girls who try to look pretty
And if your train's on time
You can get to work by nine
And start your slaving job to get your pay
If you ever get annoyed
Look at me I'm self-employed
I love to work at nothing all day
And I'll be

Taking care of business (every day)
Taking care of business (every way)
I've been taking care of business (it's all mine)
Taking care of business and working overtime
Work out

If it were easy as fishin'
You could be a musician
If you could make sounds loud or mellow
Get a second-hand guitar
Chances are you'll go far
If you get in with the right bunch of fellows
People see you having fun
Just a lying in the sun
Tell them that you like it this way
It's the work that we avoid
And we're all self-employed
We love to work at nothing all day
And we be

Taking care of business (every day)
Taking care of business (every way)
We be been taking care of business (it's all mine)
Taking care of business and working overtime

Mercy
Whooooo
All right

Take good care of my business
When I'm away, every day
Whoooo

You get up every morning
From your alarm clock's warning
Take the 8:15 into the city
There's a whistle up above
And people pushin', people shovin'
And the girls who try to look pretty
And if your train's on time
You can get to work by nine
And start your slaving job to get your pay
If you ever get annoyed
Look at me I'm self-employed
I love to work at nothing all day
And I'll be

Taking care of business (every day)
Taking care of business (every way)
I've been taking care of business (it's all mine)
Taking care of business and working overtime

Takin' care of business, whoo
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business (every day)
Takin' care of business (every way)
Takin' care of business (it's all mine)
Takin' care of business
And working overtime
Whoooo
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
We be takin' care of business
We be takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business


6. DOWN DOWN

When the mornin' comes
You'll know by my shoes I've been out walking

If I don't return
You'll know I've found something to believe in, to believe In

Waiting for the sun
My heart will surely break if it starts raining

It's the oasis I seek
'Cause the sand of the desert makes me thirsty, makes me Thirsty

Down, down we all go down
'Round, 'round we all go 'round
Down, down we all go down
We all go down-down-down-down

If I learn to fly
You know I'll go places never been before

If I reach a star
You know I will dwell on it forever, forever

There are mysteries
My children have rhymes with hidden meanings

If I learn the truth
I'm sure that the end will leave me crying, leave me crying


7. YOU AIN'T SEEN NOTHIN' YET

I met a devil woman, she took my heart away
She said I had it comin' to me, but I wanted it that way
I think that any love is good lovin'
And so I took what I could get, mmm
Oooh, oooh, she looked at me with big brown eyes
And said

You ain't seen nothin' yet
Be -be -be -Baby, you just ain't seen nothin' yet
Here's something that you never gonna forget
Be -be -be -Baby, you just ain't seen nothin' yet

And now I'm feelin' better, 'cause I found out for sure
She took me to her doctor and he told me of a cure
He said that any love is good love
So I took what I could get, yes, I took what I could get
Oooh, and she looked at me with big brown eyes
And said

You ain't seen nothin' yet
Be -be -be -Baby, you just ain't seen nothin' yet
Here's something, here's something that you're never gonna Forget
Be -be -be -Baby, you just ain't seen nothin' yet
You need educated

Any love is good love
So I took what I could get, yes, I took what I could get
And then, and then, and then she looked at me with big Brown eyes
And said

You ain't seen nothin' yet
Baby, you just ain't seen nothin' yet
Here's something, here's something,
here's something, mama, you're never gonna forget
Be -be -be -Baby, you just ain't seen nu-nu-nu-nothin' yet
You ain't been around

You ain't seen nothin' yet
I know I ain't seen nothin' yet
I know I ain't seen nothin' yet
Baby, Baby, Baby
You ain't seen nothin' yet


8. LET IT RIDE

Good bye, hard life
Don't cry, would you let it ride?
Good bye, hard life
Don't cry, would you let it ride?

You can see the mornin', but I can see the light
Try, try, try, let it ride
While you've been out runnin' I've been waitin' half the Night
Try, try, try, let it ride

And would you cry if I told you that I lied?
And would you say goodbye or would you let it ride?
Good bye, hard life, don?t cry, would you let it ride?

Babe, my life is not complete, I never see you smile
Try, try, try, let it ride
Baby you want the forgivin' kind, and that's just not my Style
Try, try, try, let it ride

And would you cry if I told you that I lied?
And would you say goodbye or would you let it ride?
Good bye, hard life, don?t cry, would you let it ride?

I've been doin' things worthwhile, and I?ve been bookin' Time
Try, try, try, let it ride
Runnin? with the crazy crowd, ooh, ain?t no friends o? mine
Try, try, try, let it ride

And would you cry if I told you that I lied?
And would you say goodbye or would you let it ride?
Good bye, hard life, don?t cry, would you let it ride?

Would you let it ride
Try, try, try, let it ride
Just let it ride


9. FLAT BROKE LOVE

Pardon my life, pardon my song
I hope you're not nervous, I'm not going to stay long
The one installment, I've made on your heart
Is not enough to cover what we're willin' to start
Cause I'm a flat broke love
Lord I'm a flat broke love

I'm up or I'm down, never constant or sound
Empty my pockets full of grain
The friends that I've loved, never feel I've been there
I've never left a grateful one
Cause I'm a flat broke love
Well I'm a flat broke love
Yeah I'm a flat broke love
Baby I'm a flat broke love

Cause I'm a flat broke love
Yeah I'm a flat broke love
Well I'm a flat broke love
Lord I'm a flat broke love

I'll state you this claim, you've all played the game
You've all upset somebody's cart
I think you forgot, love needs more than one heart
Without it, it can't hold a true flame

Cause it's a flat broke love
It's a flat broke love
Yeah it's a flat broke love
Hey it's a flat broke love
Well it's a flat broke love
Lord it's flat broke love
Flat broke love
Baby it's a flat broke love
It's a flat broke love
Flat broke love
Baby she's a flat broke love
Oh a flat broke love


10. CAN WE ALL COME TOGETHER

Can We All Come Together
You are what you are
I am what I am
Can we all come together
With some kind of plan

I want you to laugh
But you want me to cry
Can we all come together
Hey, why don't we try

Can we all come together
Can we reach across the sea
There are worlds in between us
The sky is all we see
So let's all come together
Let's all come together

Why do we like different things
And we live different ways
Can we come together
For happier days

I want you to smile
But you let me down
Can we come together
Let's do it right now

I see you live for the sun
I live for the rain
Can we come together
Can we be the same

I want to settle down
But you want to run
Can we come together
Can we be like one


11. ROCK AND ROLL NIGHTS

I tried, you've got to realize
The way I'm torn apart inside
They're calling me now
I've changed, there's something rearranged
Sounds so sweet, I can't explain
Calling me now.

Rockin' all day and rollin' all night
Smile for the ladies, make it nice
I may go crazy but I'll be alright
It's those rock and roll nights
Rock and roll nights, rock and roll nights

Life's so long and get's so tough
For you play the game but it ain't enough
Really don't give a damn if you survive
Lot of love or lot of luck
Don't you shine on me, I've had enough
Only rock and roll can keep this boy alive

Rockin' all day and rollin' all night
Smile for the ladies, make it nice
I may go crazy but I'll be alright
It's those rock and roll nights
Rock and roll nights, rock and roll nights

Rockin' all day and rollin' all night
Smile for the ladies, make it nice
I may go crazy but I'll be alright
It's those rock and roll nights
Rock and roll nights, rock and roll nights

Rock and roll nights
Feelin' alright
Rock and roll nights
Feelin' alright
Oh oh oh
Rock and roll nights
Feelin' alright
Rock and roll nights
Rock and roll nights
Rock and roll nights


12. JAMAICA

When will these dark clouds disappear from view
When will the sun begin to shine
When will I once again be near to you
When will I know for sure you're mine

Dreaming of those Jamaican nights
Longing to hold you
Jamaica take me away
Take me away with you
Jamaica, I'm wasting away
Take me away with you
Jamaica take me away
Take me away with you
Jamaica, I'm wasting away
Take me away with you

When will these dark days disappear again
When will I finally see the light
How long must I wait
To have you here my friend
I want to be with you tonight

Dreaming of those Jamaican nights
Longing to hold you
