Highway '61 Revisited.

well...
God said to Abraham;
"Kill me a son",
Ab. say "Man, you must be putting me on!"
God said "No,"
Ab said "What!"
God said "You do what you want Abby, BUT,
next time you see me coming you'd better run!"
Ab. say "Where-ya-want that killing done?
God said "Out on that highway '61.

Well, gorgeous Sam,
he had bloody nose.
Welfare department would give him no clothes,
he asked poor Howard,
"Where can I go?"
How. says "There's only one place I know",
Sam says "Quick man tell me I gotta run,"
How. just pointed with his gun,
he said "That way, down on '61."

Well, Mack the Finger said "Louis the King,
I got 40 red, white and blue shoes strings,
and a, thousand telephones that won't ring,
you and I can rid of these things."
He said "Now let me think for a minute son."
Said "yes it can be easily done,
just take it down on that '61".

That highway.
Highway.
Highway.
Highway.
Highway.

Now the fifth daughter,
on the twelfth night,
told first father,
that things weren't right.
My, complexion she said it's much to white!
He said "Come here and stare up into the light,"
And said "umm, you're right,
let me tell the second mother t'play dumb,"
But the second mother and the seventh son,
they were out on that highway '61.

Now, roving gambler was very bored,
trying to create the next World War,
and he found a promoter, fell on the floor,
and said "I've never engaged in this kinda thing before!,
But yep, I think it can be easily done,"
Highway!
"We'll just put some bleachers, out in the sun,
happy now on that '61."
