Just Like the Bob Dylan Blues

This is another from the 4-track days.

My brother-in-law plays the guitar at the beginning of this song. I gave him my guitar and said "It's a blues progression in G. Follow me for the changes" and he just played. I wish i hadn't done the piss-poor Bob impression, but it made sense at the time.

Well there's tigers in New Hampshire and they're chewing bubble gum
Monsters on unicycles playing with guns
But Mickey Mouse and Juliet, they ain't having no fun
So Santa Claus shoots Webster and tells him to run
Ain't it kinda funny when you watch Hill Street Blues
That all them cameras had the Bob Dylan Blues

So I read my books and I play Monopoly
I talked to my friend the Queen of Democracy
She told me a tale about being lonely
So I empathized with her and I gave her a trophy
It's hard to deliver mail like the both of us do
Especially when you got the Bob Dylan Blues

Well King Tut he's working at some Auto Zone
He beats up lizards and eats megaphones
And grandma is protesting just what is and isn't legal
As she hits on Jon Staton inside the gazeebo
I hate it when he says I got Brandon Pyle shoes
But at least I ain't got them Bob Dylan Blues

Well I used to know this girl when she lived in Aberdeen
She drank Diet Coke and had a trampoline
Her house was filled with crafts and all that sorts
So she rebelled one day and watched the People's Court
You may say she works at Arby's, God knows it isn't true
But I'll bet she's got them Bob Dylan Blues

So now I'm in prison for stealing all the tape
And giving it to the needy so they could retaliate
But they were just lazy and sold it all for booze
And hopped a train to Santa Fe in a caboose
I bet you would have guessed it had I told you who
Walked away a millionaire with the Bob Dylan Blues

So there they stood right outside a Star Mart
With hand grenades and jelly beans and shopping carts
Dancing around the hat with a harmonica
Saying Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah
Said the atheist to God, "Man, this is new"
He had never experienced the Bob Dylan Blues

David VanSickle while eating sausages
Donated socks to help out with the hostages
But they threw them away with the computers and stuff
And grabbed the marshmallows and burped "This is enough"
Who would have known that that is what they would choose
After all they ain't got them Bob Dylan Blues

Stevie Wonder and Dilbert are blowing on kazoos
While Judas Iscariot ties up his noose
And Captain Kangaroo is waiting for his chance
To meet Miss America and take her to France
I think I'll order a Chicken Cordon Bleu
To help ease the pain of my Bob Dylan Blues

So Forrest Gump and Buddha listen to my dreams
As Mark Twain and me mix up some cremes
I bet you think he's crazy, in fact he told me so
As he beat upon the mousepad and played his piccolo
I know you would not guess it but I was that way, too
Right before I recovered from my Bob Dylan Blues

Vanilla Ice and Hammer have left us to rot
Cause they knows what they won once you were caught
But I wasn't fooled I knew it all too well
I beat them bastards silly and threw them both in jail
And if you don't believe me just watch the evening news
They've got in-depth stories on the Bob Dylan Blues
