Subterranean Homesick Blues

In the style of

Bob Dylan

Lyrics

johnny's in
the basement
mixin' up the medicine
i'm on the pavement
thinkin' about
the government

a man in a trench coat
badge out
laid off
says he's got a
bad cough
wants to get it
paid off

look out kid
it's somethin' you did
god knows when
but you're
doin' it again

you better duck down
the alleyway
lookin' for
a new friend

the man in
the coonskin cap
in a pigpen wants
eleven dollar bills
you only got ten

maggie comes
fleet foot
face full of
black soot

talkin' that
the heat put
plants in the bed
but the phone's tapped
anyway

maggie says
that many say
they must bust
in early may
orders from the d.a.

look out kid
don't matter
what you did
a-walk on
your tiptoes
don't tie no bows

better stay away
from those
that carry around
a fire hose

keep a clean nose and
watch the
plainclothes
you don't need
a weatherman
to know which way
the wind blows

aw get sick
get well
hang around
a inkwell

ring bell
hard to tell
if anything is
gonna sell

try hard
get barred
get back
write braille
get jailed
jump bail
join the army
if you fail

look out kid
you're gonna get hit
by losers
cheaters
six-time users

hangin' round
the theaters
girl by
the whirlpool's
lookin' for
a new fool

don't
follow leaders
a-watch a
parkin' meter

aw get born
keep warm
short pants
romance

learn to dance
get dressed
get blessed
try to be a success

please her
please him
buy gifts
don't steal
don't lift

twenty years
of schoolin'
and they put you on
the day shift

look out kid
they keep it all hid
better jump down
a manhole
light yourself
a candle

don't wear
sandals
and try to avoid
the scandals

don't wanna be a bum
ya better chew gum
the pump don't work
'cause the vandals
took the handles
