"Mercy, Mercy Me (The Ecology)"

"Mercy, Mercy Me (The Ecology)"



Woo ah, mercy mercy me
Ah things ain't what they used to be, no no
Where did all the blue skies go?
Poison is the wind that blows from the north and south and east
Woo mercy, mercy me, mercy father
Ah things ain't what they used to be, no no
Oil wasted on the ocean and upon our seas, fish full of mercury
Ah oh mercy, mercy me
Ah things ain't what they used to be, no no
Radiation under ground and in the sky
Animals and birds who live nearby are dying
Oh mercy, mercy me
Ah things ain't what they used to be
What about this overcrowded land
How much more abuse from man can she stand?
Oh, na na...
My sweet Lord... No
My Lord... My sweet Lord

"Midnight Lady"

"Midnight Lady"


So let me tell you 'bout
Last Saturday night
The club was rocking
Super freaks hanging out
Wall to wall
They tell me something's going on in the men's room
Soon as we come out we'll be high soon
Did you save a line for the ladies
We're not into that are you crazy
Who's the super freak in the red dress
When she starts to shake it, I can't take it
Get in the groove and boogie to the beat baby
Get in the groove and boogie to the beat baby
Shake it baby, shake it pretty
We got the party, we got the sounds
We're off in the streets and all the freaks are getting down
Get in the groove baby, and boogie to the beat
Shake, shake your thing
You freaky thing, the way you move you drive me crazy
You freaky thing, you freaky thing
You make me rock
You make me rock
You turn me on
The way you dance
The way you dance

Midnight lady, sexy dancer
Hot and hardy, love to party
We're jammin' to love
Major love minor love
Jammin' to a great crescendo
Let's party baby, shake it, shake it
Party night to remember
Oh, everybody's having fun
Come on and party turn the green light on

When I saw you
I had to stop
I had to stop in the middle of a bop
I had to stop
I got the rhythm
I got the rhythm
Love is everywhere for the making
Freaks is everywhere for the taking
Blues is in the air if you sing it
Happiness come back if you bring it
I'm having me a good time

Midnight lady, midnight lady
Rockin' and finger poppin'
Somebody said you was a super freak
I'm here to tell you I'm a super freak baby
Get in the groove
Get in the groove
Get in the groove

We got to rock, we got the rhythm
We got to come on down to the boogie
Feeling good [Ad lib]

Check that classy rhythm
Give me that sexy beat
I dig that feeling jam
Midnight lady, sexy
You are the one I'm looking for
I never, never, never knew before
Oh, baby, you're looking too good
Super freaky

"My Funny Valentine"

"My Funny Valentine"


My Funny Valentine,
Sweet comic valentine -
You make me smile, with my heart.

Your looks are laughable
Un-photagraphable
Yet you'r my fav'rite work of art.

Is your figure, less than greek
Is your mouth, a little weak?
When you open it to speak,
are you smart?

But don't change a hair for me,
Not if you care for me -
Stay little Valentine, stay
Each Day is Valentine's Day.

[musical interlude]

Is your figure, less than greek
Is your mouth, a little weak?
When you open it to speak,
are you smart?

Don't baby don't change a hair for me,
Not if you care for me -
Stay little Valentine, stay
Each Day is Valentine's Day.

"My Kind Of Town"
(originally by Frank Sinatra)

"My Kind Of Town"
(originally by Frank Sinatra)



This is my kind of town
Chicago is my kind of town
Chicago is my kind of people too
People who smile at you and

Each time I roam
Chicago is calling me home
Chicago is why I just grin like a clown
It's my kind of town.

My kind of town,
Chicago is my kind of town,
Chicago is my kind of raz-ma-taz
And it has all that jazz and

Each time I leave,
Chicago is tuggin' my sleeve
Chicago is a Wrigley Building
Chicago is the Union Stockyard
Chicago is one town that won't let you down
It's my kind of town

"My Mistake (Was To Love You)"
(with Diana Ross)

"My Mistake (Was To Love You)"
(with Diana Ross)



My mistake was to love you, girl
Love you, girl
My mistake was to give you all
Tell the world

First I had you
In the palm of my hand
But I let you slip through
Like rain to sand
At the beginning
When I didn't care
Like my own reflection
You were always there

My mistake was to love you, girl
Love you, girl
My mistake was to give you all
Tell the world

You were sweeter
Then my very own skin
But what did I do for you
Not a thing
In front of my friends
You broke me down
Since then darling
It's hard to track you down

My mistake was to love you, boy
Love you, boy
My mistake was to give my all
Tell the world

Many a smile
You put om ny face
But I paid dearly
With the tears I taste

My tenderness
Made you cold, not sweet
'Cause if a girl loves you
You only call her weak

My mistake was to love you, boy
Love you, boy
My mistake was to give my all
Tell the world

My mistake was to love you, girl
Love you, girl
My mistake was to give you all
Tell the world

in the evening
when the sun goes down
oh...you'll find me
hangin'round
cause the nightlife
aint no good life
but it's my life....oh...yes it is
many people just like you and me
are dreamin'about....how things used to be
but the nightlife ain't no good life
but it's my life

listen to the blues
they're playin'
listen to the blues
to what's saying...
hie...yeah......

home,it's just another place
oh...from that world of broken dreams

yes the nightlife ain't no good life
but it's my life... oh yes it is

sometimes it's sad...
then again it's happy..oh..mmmm sometimes

"Oh How I'd Miss You"

"Oh How I'd Miss You"


[TT:] My lovin' heart would shake
More than the earth could break
If you should ever go
You know my heart would break
[MG:] If I lost your sweet embrace
Even time could not erase
The memories of you
Tears would cover up my face

[CHORUS:]
[BOTH:] Oh how I'd miss you, baby
[MG:] I need you so
[BOTH:] Oh how I'd miss you
[TT:] Baby never go
[MG:] I'll never leave

[TT:] My world would cease to be
Without the love you give to me
The chains around my heart
Would never set me free
[MG:] When my life had just begun
My sky didn't have a sun
You fill my every need
So if you ever leave

[CHORUS]

[Backing, x2]
(Oh how I'd miss you, baby baby)

[MG:] Oh you're always on my mind
Losin' you would leave me blind
Fill my heart forevermore
Never leave my love behind
[TT:] With the joy your love can bring
To you I'll always cling
If you took away your love
It would be the end of things, &...

[BOTH:] Oh how I'd miss you
[MG:] Oh baby
[BOTH:] Oh how I'd miss you
[TT:] Marvin, I need you so
[BOTH:] Oh how I'd miss you

"On The Street Where You Live"

"On The Street Where You Live"



I have often walked down this street before;
But the pavement always stayed beneath my feet before.
All at once am I
Several stories high,
Knowing I'm on the street where you live.

Are there lilac trees in the heart of town?
Can you hear a lark in any other part of town?
Does enchantment pour
Out of ev'ry door?
No, it's just on the street where you live!

And oh! The towering feeling
Just to know somehow you are near!
The overpowering feeling
That any second you may suddenly appear!

People stop and stare. They don't bother me.
For there's nowhere else on earth that I would rather be.
Let the time go by,
I won't care if I
Can be here on the street where you live.
