Fogerty Performer(s): Creedence Clearwater Revival - 1969 and multiple other artists
Well, you wake up in the morning, you hear the work bell ring And they march you to the table to see the same old thing Ain't no food upon the table, and no pork up in the pan But you better not complain, boy, you get in trouble with the man
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me Let the Midnight Special shine a ever-loving light on me
Yonder come miss Rosie, how in the world did you know? By the way she wears her apron, and the clothes she wore Umbrella on her shoulder, piece of paper in her hand She come to see the governor, she wants to free her man
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me Let the Midnight Special shine a ever-loving light on me
If you're ever in Houston, well, you better do the right You better not gamble, there, you better not fight, at all Or the sheriff will grab you and the boys will bring you down The next thing you know, boy, Oh! You're prison bound
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me Let the Midnight Special shine a ever-loving light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me Let the Midnight Special shine a ever-loving light on me

(Bert:) Chim chiminey Chim chiminey Chim chim cher-ee! A sweep is as lucky As lucky can be
Chim chiminey Chim chiminey Chim chim cher-oo! Good luck will rub off when I shakes 'ands with you Or blow me a kiss And that's lucky too
Now as the ladder of life 'As been strung You may think a sweep's On the bottommost rung
Though I spends me time In the ashes and smoke In this 'ole wide world There's no 'appier bloke
Chim chiminey Chim chiminey Chim chim cher-ee! A sweep is as lucky As lucky can be
Chim chiminey Chim chiminey Chim chim cher-oo! Good luck will rub off when I shakes 'ands with you
(All:) Chim chiminey Chim chiminey Chim chim cher-ee! A sweep is as lucky As lucky can be
Chim chiminey Chim chiminey Chim chim cher-oo! Good luck will rub off when I shakes 'ands with you
(Bert:) I choose me bristles with pride Yes, I do A broom for the shaft And a broom for the flume
Up where the smoke is All billered and curled 'Tween pavement and stars Is the chimney sweep world
When the's 'ardly no day Nor 'ardly no night There's things 'alf in shadow And 'alf way in light On the roof tops of London Coo, what a sight!
*Next stanza is not on the soundtrack*
Though I'm covered with soot From me 'ead to me toes A sweep knows 'e's welcome Wherever 'e goes
(Mary:) Chim chiminey Chim chiminey Chim chim cher-ee! When you're with a sweep You're in glad company
(Bert:) No where is there A more 'appier crew
(Both:) Than them wot sings "Chim chim cher-ee Chim cher-oo!" On the chim chiminey Chim chim cher-ee Chim cher-oo!
Reconsider Baby Composer(s): Lowell Fulson Performer(s): Lowell Fulson; and various other artists
So long, oh how I hate to see you go So long, oh how I hate to see you go And the way that I will miss you I guess you will never know
We've been together so long, to have to separate this way We've been together so long, to have to separate this way I'm gonna let you go ahead on baby Pray that you'll come back home some day
You said you once had loved me, but now I guess you have changed your mind You said you once had loved me, but now I guess you have changed your mind Why don't you reconsider baby Give yourself just a little more time
The Midnight Oil Composer(s): Joseph Allen Performer(s): Barbara Mandrell; Gretchen Wilson
That call was from the office and I guess I'll have to burn the midnight oil again And hon' you know how much the boss Depends on me to lend a helping hand I watch him in the mirror as I lie And tell him I don't know how late I'll be While I'm puttin' on my make-up I'm puttin' on the one that really loves me
The girls all got together and they called To see if I could have some fun tonight But you know me, the only thing I do Is go to work and watch TV And I watch him in the mirror as I lie And tell him I don't know how late I'll be While I'm puttin' on my make-up I'm puttin' on the one that really loves me
And tonight I'll cheat again And tomorrow I'll be sorry And I'll feel kind o' dirty 'Cause I'll have the midnight oil all over me God knows his dream would shatter If he knew the devil had me and won't set me free While I'm puttin' on my make-up I'm puttin' on the one that really loves me
While I'm puttin' on my make-up I'm puttin' on the one that really loves me

The Middle Of The Night Is My Cryin' Time Composer(s): Sheb Wooley Performer(s): Dean Martin
When you said goodbye I made up a lie Told ev'ryone that I knew Our love was not real, so I play the field And that I never loved you
I put up a front and walk down the street Forcin' a smile all the time And nobody knows I'm missin' you so It's drivin' me out of my mind
The middle of the night is when I cry The middle of the day is when I lie Tell everyone that I'm doin' fine But the middle of the night is my cryin' time
All of our friends ask where I've been They haven't seen me around I just give a wink and I'm hopin' they'll think I've been out paintin' the town
Sometimes it seems, alone in my dreams I'm holdin' you once again When I awake, it's so hard to take And that's when the teardrops begin
Oh, the middle of the night is my cryin' time The middle of the day is my lyin' time I tell ev'ryone that I'm doin' fine But the middle of the night is my cryin' time
I put up a front and walk down the street Forcin' a smile all the time And nobody knows that I'm missin' you so It's drivin' me out of my mind
The middle of the night is my cryin' time The middle of the day is my lyin' time I tell ev'ryone that I'm doin' fine But the middle of the night is my cryin' time (The middle of the night is his cryin' time) The middle of the night is my cryin' time The middle of the night is my cryin' time The middle...
Recollection Composer(s): Rick Wakeman Performer(s): Rick Wakeman
Memories of a life on earth go flashing past Of home, of Grauben, friends of whom he's seen his last Contemplating what his life's been worth While trapped beneath the earth An embryo at birth Pain and fear destroy the beauty I have seen Of caverns, where no other man has been Silurian epoch hosts me as my grave My final blow I wave A life too late to save Crystals of opaque quartz, studded limpid tears Forming magic chandeliers, lighting blistered galleries
The Midas Touch Composer(s): Jule Styne - Betty Comden - Adolph Green Performer(s): Bernie West and multiple other artists
Aaaahhhhhhh! First you're hot and then you're cold Then you're shy and then you're bold But I'm always sensitive to you
First you fill my heart with pain Then your kiss is novocaine That's no way sensitive to you
You don't see anything, but it hurts Though you can't see the pain Ooh-oh, how it hurts
Midas touch The mighty, mighty, mighty, mighty Midas Touch The Midas touch The mighty, mighty, mighty, mighty Midas Touch Midas touch The mighty, mighty Midas Touch
Gold in the mornin' Gold in the evenin Gold in the Summer Gold in the Winter Doctor Midas said to me "Be sure you take your vitamin G...o...l...d" And that's what he said to me Yeah!
Gold in all its glory And that's the story of the Midas Touch
Chilling Of The Evening Composer(s): Arlo Guthrie Performer(s): Arlo Guthrie
Warm me from the wind and take my hand A song is sounding, softly singing My song is cast upon the rainbow waves Forever splashing in the sunlight Prove to me there's a love still left In all of this emptiness around me Take me from the chilling of the evening
Though you know my love that I must go A-following the winds that blow inside me I've nowhere left to run or hide Except if you will come and run beside me And even if you do there'll be a lot for us to do To keep believing Take me from the chilling of the evening
And now my time has come down many streets I'm coming from a night decaying The song that itself sings is all alone I cannot even hear it playing Now to leave before I understand Just what it is I'm leaving Take me from the chilling of the evening
Nobody knows this place of mine the nights sad and long after that time I remember forever from that very first time what keeps us together whats bringing us here I believe in you Ooh I just wanted you the sound of your voice sad searching young man made me sure of my choice every time I hear it again while Pharaoh is watching Im following my guide swallowed by the crowd I try to keep you in sight
Chill Factor Composer(s): Chrissie Hynde Performer(s): The Pretenders
Shes getting older Yeah, shes getting wise But a change has changed the girl Gones the sparkle from her eyes
She wants to be a good mother So shell do the best she can But what about the other What about the man
Well its cold to leave a woman With family on her own Its chill factor To the bone
Resignation In her sighs Is a sorry indication Of how time Can brutalise
Take away the hope And the will will follow Take away the faith And goodbye tomorrow
Well its cold to leave a woman With family on her own Its chill factor To the bone
She had her dreams too But how can she pursue Her ambitions, be they great or small
You took her wings and flew But remember when youre through Your rise was due To somebody elses fall
When the hard parts over And the kids are almost grown Youll be their big hero Whenever you make it home Shower them with presents Things she could never buy Delight them with your stories About the great big, great big world outside But dig
Its cold to leave a woman With family on her own Its chill factor Chill factor To the bone

Jean: I'm gonna go places and look life in the face
Jean (Singing): When I'm in love I'm reckless Each time in love I'm more reckless I won't go weeping For lost romances I pay my losses And I take new chances
I'm reckless And I don't want advice I'll keep on seeking my own paradise I waste no weeping I just keep hoping For one who's hoping for me
-Chorus girl dance sequence-
Jean: I've made my mind up That I'll wind up I'll take what's coming to me
I've been around It's been, why advertise I have lived And I've loved What is life Without love?
Keep your feet on the ground All my friends have advised If you'll fight, you will fall So I fight, and I fell Every time my heart beats calmly
-Dance Routine-
-Gun Fight-
Chorus Girl: I waste no weeping I just keep hoping For one who's hoping for me
Childsong
Composer(s): Pete Brown - Jack Bruce - Tony Hymas
Performer(s): Jack Bruce
She shakes her head and says That her last word is spoken Tumbling down Something she found Where happiness lay Not far away Hear it now
You got so many ways When the last chains are broken Tumbling down You hear a new sound It's dark into day Not far away Hear it now
When summer leaves The tangles that it weaves are floating in the wind Hard to begin To get back in You stay but it's never in only one piece You got to find release
He runs away and plays his laughter is just awoken Tumbling down The eyes of a clown And truth sings today Not far away Hear it now
