Bob Dylan - Subterranean Homesick Blues Lyrics
Johnnys in the basementMixing up the medicineIm on the pavementThinking about the governmentThe man in the trench coatBadge out, laid offSays hes got a bad coughWants to get it paid offLook out kidIts somethin you didGod knows whenBut youre doin it againYou better duck down the alley wayLookin for a new friendThe man in the coon-skin capIn the big penWants eleven dollar billsYou only got tenMaggie comes fleet footFace full of black sootTalkin that the heat putPlants in the bed butThe phones tapped anywayMaggie says that many sayThey must bust in early mayOrders from the d. a.Look out kidDont matter what you didWalk on your tip toesDont try no dozBetter stay away from thoseThat carry around a fire hoseKeep a clean noseWatch the plain clothesYou dont need a weather manTo know which way the wind blowsGet sick, get wellHang around a ink wellRing bell, hard to tellIf anything is goin to sellTry hard, get barredGet back, write brailleGet jailed, jump bailJoin the army, if you failLook out kidYoure gonna get hitBut losers, cheatersSix-time usersHang around the theatersGirl by the whirlpoolLookin for a new foolDont follow leadersWatch the parkin metersAh get born, keep warmShort pants, romance, learn to danceGet dressed, get blessedTry to be a successPlease her, please him, buy giftsDont steal, dont liftTwenty years of schoolinAnd they put you on the day shiftLook out kidThey keep it all hidBetter jump down a manholeLight yourself a candleDont wear sandalsTry to avoid the scandalsDont wanna be a bumYou better chew gumThe pump dont workcause the vandals took the handles
