Oh, God said to Abraham, "Kill me a son" |
|
Abe says, "Man, you must be putting me on" |
|
God says, "No" Abe says, "What?" |
|
God says, "You can do what you want, Abe, but |
|
The next time you see me coming, you better run" |
|
Well, Abe said, "Where do you want this killing done?" |
|
God says, "Out on Highway 61" |
|
Well, Georgia Sam, he had a bloody nose |
|
Welfare Department, they wouldn't give him no clothes |
|
He asked Poor Howard, "Where can I go?" |
|
Howard said, "There's only one place I know" |
|
Sam said, "Tell me quick, man, and I gotta run" |
|
Old Howard just pointed with his gun |
|
And said, "That way, down Highway 61" |
|
Well, Mack the Finger said to Louie the King |
|
"I got forty red, white and blue strings |
|
And a thousand telephones that don't ring |
|
Do you know where I can get rid of these things?" |
|
And Louie the King said, "Let me think for a minute, son" |
|
And he said, "Yes, I think it can be easily done |
|
Just take everything down to Highway 61" |
|
Now, the fifth daughter on the twelfth night |
|
Told her father that things weren't right |
|
"My complexion," she said, "is much too white" |
|
He said, "Come here, and step into the light" |
|
He says, "Hmm, you're right |
|
Let me tell the second mother this has been done" |
|
But the second mother was with the seventh sun |
|
And they were both out on Highway 61 |
|
Now the Roving Gambler, he was very bored |
|
He was trying to create a next world war |
|
He found a promoter who nearly fell off the floor |
|
He said, "I never engaged in this kind of thing before |
|
But, yes, I think it can be very easily done |
|
We'll just put up some bleachers out in the sun |
|
And have it on Highway 61" |
