2. Mowtown Special

Right now, right now,

Right now, right now,
right now, right now, Oh
Osmond Special coming
into town tonight, Oh
That old Osmond Special
coming into town tonight, Oh
We’re gonna rock,
we’re gonna roll,
we’re gonna make
everybody feel alright!

My world is empty
without you babe
My world is empty
without you babe

And as I go my way along
(without you babe)
I find it hard
for me to carry on
(without you babe)
I need your strength,
I need your tender touch
I need the love I
hear of it so much
I need love now
more than before
I can’t hardly
carry on anymore

I’m gonna make you love me,
ooo yes I will,
yes I will
I’m gonna make you love me,
ooo yes I will,
you know I will
Oh yes I will

I can turn the
gray sky bluer
Oh, I can make it rain
whenever I want it to
Oh I can build a castle
from a single grain of sand
I can make a ship sail,
huh, on dry land
But my life incomplete
and I’m so blue
Cause I can’t get
next to you
Next to you,
I just can’t get next to you

I can fly like a bird in the sky
Hey, I can buy anything
that money can’t buy
Oh I can turn a river
into a raging fire
Oh, I can live forever
if I so desire
I do all the oh all
of these things I can do
But I can’t get next to you
No matter what I do

Oh I

Next to you,
chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom
Next to you,
chick-a-boom-boom-boom
Next to you,
chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom
Next to you,
chick-a-boom-boom-boom

And I, wo I, I (can’t get next to you).

Girl you’re blowing my mind
cause I can’t get next to you
Can’t you see these tears I’m crying,
I can’t get next to you
Girl it’s you that I need,
I gotta get next to you
Can’t you see these
tears I’m crying,
I can’t get next to you

Gotta get, gotta get, gotta get,
gotta get, gotta get, gotta get
next to you

3. Close To You

Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near
Just like me,
they long to be
Close to you.

Why do stars
Fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you

On the day that you were born
the angels got together
And decided to create
a dream come true
So they sprinkled moondust
in your hair of gold
And starlight in
your eyes of blue.

That is why all
the boys in town
Follow you all around
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.

Just like me
They long to be
Close to you

Close to you
Close to you
Close to you

4. Sweet & Innocent

I love the little wiggle
in your walk,
the way you cuddle
on my shoulder.
But you’re too young
to know this girl
so come back
when you’re older.

’Cause you’re too
sweet and innocent,
but you’re just
oh too young for me, yeah

The way you hold
me not too tight,
the tender way
you kiss goodnight,
still say you’ve got
some growing up to do.

Wo o ho, young and beautiful,
is a love, oh,
you give to me yeah.
The way you hold me
Not too tight
So go on home girl
Or I just might

You’re too sweet
and innocent,
you’re too young
and beautiful for me, yeah

Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Sweet
You’re much too
young little girl
Go on home
Just leave me alone
Little girl
You’re so sweet

5. He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother

The road is long,
with many a winding turn
That leads us to who
knows where, who knows where
But I’m strong,
strong enough
to carry, carry him
He ain’t heavy,
he’s my brother.

So on we go, (so on we go)
his welfare is my concern
No burden is he to bear,
we’ll get there
For I know he would
not encumber me
He ain’t heavy,
he’s my brother

If I’m laden at all,
I’m laden with sadness
That everyone’s heart
isn’t filled with the gladness
and love for one another.

It’s a long, long road,
(it’s so long)
from which there is no return
While we’re on the way
to there, why not share
And the load
doesn’t weigh me down at all
He ain’t heavy,
he’s my brother.

He’s my brother,
he ain’t heavy
He’s my brother,
he ain’t heavy
He’s my brother.

6. Evil / I Gotta Woman

You lookin’ for trouble
You came to the right place
You lookin’ for trouble
Look right in my face

I was born standing up
and talking back.
My daddy was a
green-eyed mountain man.
Because I’m evil
My middle name is misery
Because I’m eveil
So don’t you mess
around with me.
So don’t you mess
around with me.

Wo oh sometimes,
sometimes you know
That I’m gonna worry now
But I don’t care, I don’t care
Because it’s all, it’s alright. It’s alright.
I want you all to know, that

I got a woman way
up town that’s good to me,
Oh yes I have.
I got a woman way
up town that’s good to me
Oh yeah.

She brings me money,
when I’m in need
Purtiest girl,
you ever did see
I got a woman,
way uptown that’s good to me
Oh yeah.

She brings me money,
when I’m in need
Purtiest girl,
you ever did see
I got a woman,
way uptown that’s good to me
Oh yeah

Side Two

1. Put Your Hand In The Hand

Put your hand in the hand of
the man who stills the water
Put your hand in the hand of
the man who calms the sea
Take a look at yourself and
you can look at others differently
By puttin’ your hand in the
hand of the man from Galilee

Mama taught me how to pray
before I reached the age of seven
When I’m down on my knees
that’s the time I’m close to Heaven
Daddy lived his life for nine kids
and a wife, but you do what you must do
and he taught me enough of
what it takes to get a
good man through, yeah

Put your hand in the hand of
the man who stills the water
Everybody sing
Put your hand in the hand of
the man who calms the sea
Take a look at yourself and
you can look at others differently
By puttin’ your hand in the
hand of the man from Galilee

2. My Little Darling

Sung in Japaneese

3. Jimmy’s The Happy Robbers

Sung in Japaneese

4. Your Song

It’s a little bit funny,
this feeling inside
I’m not one of those
you easily hide.
And I don’t have
much money, oh
but boy if I did.
I’d buy a big house
where we both could live.

If I were a sculptor,
but then again no.
Or a man who makes potions,
in a traveling show.
Oh I know it’s not much,
but it’s the best I can do.
My gift is my song,
and this one’s for you.

And you can tell everybody,
that this is your song.
It may be quite simple,
but now that it’s done.
I hope you don’t mind,
I hope you don’t mind
That I put down in words,
how wonderful life is
while you’re in the world.

I hope you don’t mind,
I hope you don’t mind
That I put down in words,
How wonderful life is
while you’re in the world.

5. We Got To Live Together / Proud Mary / Free

We got to live together
We got to live together
We got to live together
We got to live together

We got to live together
We got to live together

Well, I left a good
job down in the city
Working for a man
every night and day
And I never lost one
minute of sleeping
Worrying about the way
That things might have been
You can’t oh there’s something
Where it is I don’t know

And we keep rolling, (rolling)
Rolling (drifting)
Travelin’ on the river
I said we’re rolling (rolling)
Rolling’ (drifting)
Travelin’ on the river

7. One Bad Apple

I can tell you’ve been hurt
by that look on your face, girl.
Some guy brought a sad end
to your happy world.
You need love,
but you’re afraid
that if you give in,
someone else will come along
and sock it to ya again.

One bad apple
don’t spoil the
whole bunch, girl.
Oh, give it one more try
before you give up on love.
One bad apple don’t spoil
the whole bunch girl.
Oh, I don’t care what they say,
I don’t care what you heard.

I could make you happy, baby,
satisfy you, too. (satisfy you now)
But how can I if you
won’t give me a chance
to prove my love to you
Won’t you just give me
one little chance
I’ll give you a love guarantee
that you won’t be hurt again.

One bad apple don’t spoil
the whole bunch, girl.
Oh, give it one more try
before you give up on love.
One bad apple don’t spoil
the whole bunch, girl.
Oh, I don’t care what they say,
I don’t care what you heard

I’ve been noticing you, baby,
for a long, long time.
And I’m not ashamed
to tell the world
that you really messed
up my mind.
Girl, to me you’re like
a dream come true.
I’d rather hurt myself
than to ever hurt you.

One bad apple don’t spoil
the whole bunch, girl.
Oh, give it one more try
before you give up on love, girl.
One bad apple don’t spoil
the whole bunch, girl.
Oh, I don’t care what they say,
I don’t care what you heard now.
One bad apple don’t spoil
the whole bunch, girl.

Give it one more try
Before you give up on
Love

Yeah
