Medicated Goo (Miller, Winwood)
Pretty Polly Possum what's wrong with you? Your body's kind a weak and you think there's nothing we can do Good Golly Polly shame on you Cause Molly made a stew that'll make a newer girl out of you So follow me, its good for you That good old fashioned Medicated Goo Ooo, aint' it good for you? My own homegrown recipe'll see you thru Freaky Freddy Frolic had some, I know He was last seem picking green flowers in a field of snow Get ready Freddy, they're sure to grow Mother nature just blew it and there's nothing really to it I know Aunty Franny Prickett and Uncle Lou They made some Goo Now they really sock it to their friends Frantic friends and neighbors charge the door They caught a little whiff Now they're digging it and seeking more ------------------------------------------------------------------------ F.S.

Forty Thousand Headmen (Capaldi, Winwood)
Forty thousand headmen couldn't make me change my mind If I had to take the choice between the deafman and the blind I know just where my feet should go and that's enough for me I turned around and knocked them down and walked across the sea Hadn't traveled very far when suddenly I saw Three small ships a-sailing out towards a distant shore So lighting up a cigarette I followed in pursuit And found a secret cave where they obviously stashed their loot Filling up my pockets, even stuffed it up my nose I must have weighed a hundred tons between my head and toes I ventured forth before the dawn had time to change its mind And soaring high above the clouds I found a golden shrine Laying down my treasure before the iron gate Quickly rang the bell hoping I hadn't come too late But someone came along and told me not to waste my time And when I asked him who he was he said, 'Just look behind' So I turned around and forty thousand headmen bit the dirt Firing twenty shotguns each and man, it really hurt But luckily for me they had to stop and then reload And by the time they'd done that I was heading down the road ------------------------------------------------------------------------ F.S.

Dear Mr. Fantasy (Capaldi, Winwood, Wood)
Dear Mister Fantasy play us a tune Something to make us all happy Do anything take us out of this gloom Sing a song, play guitar Make it snappy You are the one who can make us all laugh But doing that you break out in tears Please don't be sad if it was a straight mind you had We wouldn't have known you all these years ------------------------------------------------------------------------ F.S.

Gimme Some Lovin' (Davis, Winwood, Winwood)
Well, my temp'rature's risin' and my feet on the floor, Twenty people knockin' 'cause they're wanting some more, Let me in, baby, I don't know what you've got, But you'd better take it easy, this place is hot So glad we made it, so glad we made it You gotta gimme some lovin', gimme some lovin' Gimme some lovin' every day. Well, I feel so good, ev'rything is sounding hot, Better take it easy, 'cause the place is on fire, Been a hard day and I don't know what to do, Wait a minute, baby, it could happen to you. So glad we made it, so glad we made it You gotta gimme some lovin', gimme some lovin' Gimme some lovin' every day. Well, I feel so good, ev'rybody's gettin' high, Better take it easy, 'cause the place is on fire Been a hard day, nothin' went too good, Now I'm gonna relax, honey, ev'rybody should So glad we made it, so glad we made it You gotta gimme some lovin', gimme some lovin' Gimme some lovin' every day ------------------------------------------------------------------------ FS Music Ltd.
