CHANGE OF HABIT
(Buddy Kaye / Bernie Weisman)
If you're in old habits
Set in your old ways
Changes are a-comin'
For these are changing days
And if your head is in the sand
While things are goin' on
What you need, what you need
What you need is a change of habit
Now if you're in the habit
To let your temper fly
When you talk with people
Who don't see eye to eye
And if you don't believe that
There's a newer world ahead
What you need, what you need
What you need is a change of habit
A change of habit, a change of outlook
A change of heart, you'll be all right
The halls of darkness
Have doors that open
It's never too late
To see the light
So if you're in the habit
Of putting people down
Just because they're different
Or from the wrong side of town
Well, don't count on any medals, son
They're pinning none on you
What you need, what you need
What you need is a change of habit

RUBBERNECKIN'
(Dory Jones / Bunny Warren)
Stop (Stop), look and listen baby, that's my philosophy (Yes it is now)
It's called rubberneckin' baby, but that's all right with me
Stop (Stop), look and listen baby, that's my philosophy (Yes it is now)
It's called rubberneckin' baby, but that's all right with me
Some people say I'm wastin' time, but they don't really know
I like what I see, I see what I like, and it gives me such a glow, hey-yeah-yeah
First thing in the morning, last thing at night
I look, stare everywhere, and I see everything in sight, hey-hey-hey
Stop (Stop), look and listen baby, that's my philosophy (Yes it is now)
It's called rubberneckin' baby, but that's all right with me (It's alright)
People say I'm wasting time, yeh, but they don't really know
I see what I like, I like what see, and it gives me such a glow-oh-oh-oh
Sittin' on the back porch all by myself
Along came Mary Jane, I'm with somebody else, hey-hey-hey
Stop (Stop), look and listen (And listen) baby, that's my philosophy (Yes it is now)
It's called rubberneckin' baby, but that's all right with me, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Hey-hey-hey-hey, baby, that's all right with me, yeah-yeah-yeah
Rubberneckin' baby, but that's all right with me, yeah -yeah-yeah.........FADE

HAVE A HAPPY
(Ben Weisman / Florence Kaye / Dolores Fuller)
Now once it was told to me
We're born with a magic key
It opens the door to miracles of Spring
It takes you to wishing wells
To ice cream and carousels
And yet this magic key won't unlock a thing
Unless... you have a happy, yeah, have a happy
Mmm, have a happy, warm smilin' face
Now start believin' in believin'
Let your address be Sunshine Place
There's love and there's joy untold
Much more than your heart can hold
It's there like the ring you grab on a merry-go-round
The world isn't half as grey
With friends on a rainy day
But people keep away when you wear a frown
You've got... to have a happy, yeah, have a happy
Have a happy, warm smiling face
Mmm, start believin' in believin'
Let your address be Sunshine Place
Let your address be Sunshine Place
Let your address be Sunshine Place

LET US PRAY
(Buddy Kaye / Bernie Weisman)
Come praise the Lord for He is good
Mmm-mmm-mmm, come join in love and brotherhood
We'll hear the word and bring our gifts of bread and wine
And we'll be blessed beneath His sign
So let us pray together, pray together
Pray with the one mighty voice (Most heavenly voices)
And let us sing together, sing together
Pray and we'll rejoice (We'll rejoice)
When strangers reach out for your hand (For your hand)
Respond to them and understand (Heaven obeyed to understand)
We'll rise as one to calm the storm outside the gate (We'll calm the storm)
With faith in Him we'll never leave (Never leave)
So let us pray together, pray together
Pray with the one mighty voice (Most heavenly voices)
And let us sing together, sing together
Pray and we'll rejoice (We'll rejoice, we'll rejoice)
The love of God is on our side (Love is, love is on our side)
We have the strength to move the tide (We'll move the tide)
The world is saved, so there'll be peace and love for all (Love for all)
And we must hear our brothers' call
So let us pray together, pray together
Pray with the one mighty voice (Most heavenly voices)
And let us sing together, sing together
Pray and we'll rejoice (We'll rejoice)
(We'll rejoice) Woh-oh-oh, love for all to the Lord
We'll rejoice, love for all to the Lord
We'll rejoice, love for all to the Lord
We'll rejoice for the Lord

LET'S BE FRIENDS
(Chris Arnold / Geoff Morrow / David Martin)
(Recorded for, but not included in the final print of the film)
Don't be afraid, you and I were made the same, little one
And I know what it's like when you feel left out of the game, little one
But if you take this helping hand that I lend
Then we can smile together, let's be friends
The world that you see may seem to be a mystery to you
The night may be dark, but hope very hard and dreams can come true
You live in silence, but for once let's pretend
We're talking here together, let's be friends
You're not alone, I've always known that we'd get along
And someone I know says life is good and He can't be wrong
There's fun and laughter just waiting round the bend
Let's find them now together, let's be friends
Let's find them now together, let's be friends
