Lyrics
0:01Subterranean Homesick Blues - Bob Dylan
0:09Johnny's in the basement mixing up the medicine
0:12I'm on the pavement thinking about the government
0:14The man in the trench coat badge out laid off
0:17Says "He's got a bad cough wants to get it paid off"
0:20Look out kid it's somethin' you did
0:22God knows when but you're doin' it again
0:25You better duck down the alley way lookin' for a new friend
0:28The man in the coon-skin cap in the big pen
0:30Wants eleven dollar bills you only got ten
0:39Maggie comes fleet foot face full of black soot
0:42Talkin' that the heat put plants in the bed but
0:45The phone's tapped anyway Maggie says that many say
0:47"They must bust in early May orders from the D A"
0:50Look out kid don't matter what you did
0:53But walk on your tip toes don't tie no bows
0:56Better stay away from those that carry around a fire hose
0:59Keep a clean nose watch the plain clothes
1:01You don't need a weather man to know which way the wind blows
1:09Oh get sick get well hang around a ink well
1:12Ring bell hard to tell if anything is goin' to sell
1:15Try hard get barred get back write Braille
1:18Get jailed jump bail join the army if you fail
1:21Look out kid you're gonna get hit
1:23But losers cheaters six-time users
1:26Hangin' around the theaters
1:28Girl by the whirlpool lookin' for a new fool
1:30Don't follow leaders watch your parkin' meters
1:40Oh get born keep warm short pants romance
1:43Learn to dance get dressed get blessed try to be a success
1:47Please her please him buy gifts don't steal don't lift
1:50Twenty years of schoolin' and they put you on the day shift
1:53Look out kid they keep it all hid
1:55Better jump down a manhole light yourself a candle
1:58Don't wear sandals try to avoid the scandals
2:01Don't wanna be a bum you better chew gum
2:04The pump don't work 'cause the vandals took the handles
