I Shall Be Free - Bob Dylan
Well I
took me a woman late last night,
I's three fourths drunk, she
looked all right
'til she started peeling off
her onion gook,
Took off her wig, said, "How
do I look?"
I's high flyin
bare naked
out the window
Well, sometimes, I might get
drunk
Walk like a duck and smell
like a skunk
Don't hurt me none, it don't
hurt my pride
Cause I got my little lady
right by my side
She's a tryin' to hide
Pretendin' she don't know
me
I's out there paintin' on
the old wood shed
When a can of black paint,
it fell on my head
I went down to scrub and rub
But I had to sit in back of
the tub
Cost a quarter
Half price
Well, my telephone rang, it
would not stop
It's President Kennedy callin'
me up
He said, "My friend Bob, what
do we need to make the country grow?"
I said, "My friend John, Bridgette
Bardot"
Anita Ickberg
Sophia Loren
County'll grow
Well I got a woman five feet
short
She yells and hollars and
screams and snorts
She tickles my nose, pats
me on the head
Rolls me over and kicks me
out of bed
She's a man-eater
Meat grinder
Bad loser
Oh there ain't no use in me
workin' all the time
I got a woman who works herself
blind
Works up to her britches,
up to her neck
Writes me letters and sends
me checks
She's a humdinger
Folksinger
Late one day, in the middle
of the week
My eyes were closed, I was
half asleep
I chased me a woman up the
hill
Right in the middle of an
air raid drill
I jumped a fallout shelter
I jumped a string bean
I jumped a tv dinner
I jumped a shotgun
Well the man on the stand,
he wants my vote
He's runnin' for office on
a ballot note
He's out there preachin' in
front of the steeple
Tellin' me he loves all kinds
of people
He's eatin' bagels
He's eatin' pizza
He's eatin' chitlins
Oh I sat me down on the television
floor
I flipped the channel to number
four
Out of the shower comes a
football man
With a bottle of oil in his
hand
Greasy kid's stuff
What I want to know mister
football man is
What do you know about Willie
Mays
Martin Luther King
Olitunji
Well the funniest woman I
ever seen
Was the great granddaughter
of Mister Clean
She takes about fifteen baths
a day
Wants me to grow a moustache
on my face
She's insane
Well, ask me why I'm drunk
all the time
Levels my head and eases my
mind
I just walk along and stroll
and sing
I see better days and do better
things
I catch dinosaurs
Make love to Elizabeth Taylor
Catch hell from Richard Burton
