《Talkin’ World War III Blues》歌词

[00:00:20] One time ago a crazy dream came to me

[00:00:22] I dreamt I was walkin' into World War Three

[00:00:26] Went to the doctor the very next day

[00:00:28] To see what kinda words he could say

[00:00:30] He said "It was a bad dream"

[00:00:34] I wouldn't worry 'bout it none though

[00:00:35] They were my own dreams

[00:00:36] Were only in your head

[00:00:49] I said "Hold it Doc a World War

[00:00:50] Passed through my brain"

[00:00:51] He said "Nurse get your pad the boy's insane"

[00:00:57] He grabbed my arm I said "Ouch "

[00:00:59] As I landed on the psychiatric couch

[00:01:02] He said "Tell me about it"

[00:01:12] Well the whole thing started at three o'clock fast

[00:01:14] It was all over by quarter past

[00:01:18] I was down in the sewer with some little lover

[00:01:20] When I peeked out from a manhole cover

[00:01:24] Wondering who turned the lights on us

[00:01:36] Well I got up and I walked around

[00:01:38] Up and down the lonesome town

[00:01:43] I stood on wondering which way to go

[00:01:45] I lit a cigarette on a parking meter

[00:01:47] And walked on down the road it was a normal day

[00:02:03] Well I rung me fallout shelter bell

[00:02:05] And I leaned my head and I gave a yell

[00:02:08] Give me a string bean I'm a hungry man

[00:02:11] Shotgun fired and away I ran

[00:02:14] I don't blame them too much though

[00:02:16] They didn't know me

[00:02:27] Down the corner by the hot-dog stand

[00:02:30] I seen a man I said Howdy friend

[00:02:33] I guess there's just us two

[00:02:35] He screamed a bit and away he flew

[00:02:39] Thought I was a Communist

[00:03:00] Well I spied me a girl before she could leave

[00:03:02] I said Let's go play Adam and Eve

[00:03:06] I took her by the hand and my heart was thumpin'

[00:03:08] When she said Hey man you crazy or something

[00:03:14] You seen what happened last time they started

[00:03:33] Well I seen me a Cadillac window uptown

[00:03:36] There was nobody around

[00:03:38] I got into the driver's seat

[00:03:40] And I drove down 42nd street in my Cadillac

[00:03:46] Good car to drive after a war

[00:04:03] Well I remember seein' some ad

[00:04:06] So I turned on my Conelrad

[00:04:07] But I didn't pay the Con Ed bill

[00:04:10] So the radio didn't work so well

[00:04:13] Turned on my record player

[00:04:17] It was Rock-A-Day Johnny singin'

[00:04:19] Tell your ma tell your pa

[00:04:22] Our loves are gonna grow ooh wah ooh wah

[00:04:39] I was feelin' kinda lonesome and blue

[00:04:41] I needed somebody to talk to

[00:04:44] So I called up the operator of time just

[00:04:47] To hear a voice of some kind

[00:04:52] When you hear the beep it will be three o'clock

[00:04:55] She said that for over an hour and I hung up

[00:05:11] Well the doctor interrupted me just about then

[00:05:13] Sayin' "Hey I've been havin' the same old dreams

[00:05:17] But mine was a little different you see

[00:05:20] I dreamt the only person left after the war was me

[00:05:24] I didn't see you around

[00:05:34] Well now time passed and now it seems

[00:05:37] Everybody's having them dreams

[00:05:40] Everybody sees their self walkin' around with no one else

[00:05:48] Half the people can be part right all of the time and

[00:05:53] Some of the people can be all right part of the time but

[00:05:57] All the people can't be all alright all of the time

[00:06:01] I think Abraham Lincoln said that

[00:06:06] I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours

[00:06:08] I said that
