Luyện nghe bài hát Alice's Restaurant Massacree

This song is Alice's Restaurant, and it's about Alice, and the
Restaurant, but Alice's is not the name of the restaurant,
That's just the name of the song, and why I called the song Alice's
Restaurant.

You can get anything you want at Alice's
You can get anything you want at Restaurant
right in it's around the back
Just a a mile from the railroad track
You can get anything you want at Alice's

Now it all started two Thanksgivings ago, was on, two ago on
Thanksgiving, my friend and I went up to visit Alice at the
Restaurant, but Alice doesn't live in the restaurant, she in the
Church nearby the restaurant, in the bell-tower, with her Ray and
Fasha the dog. And livin' in the bell tower like that, got a lot of
Room downstairs where the pews to be in. Havin' all that room,
Seein' as how they took out all the pews, they that they didn't
Have to take out garbage for a long time.

We got up there, we all the garbage in there, and we decided it'd be
A friendly for us to take the garbage down to the city dump. So
We took the a ton of garbage, put it in the back of a red VW
Microbus, took shovels and rakes and implements of destruction and
On the city dump.

Well we got there and there was a big sign and a chain across the
Dump saying, "Closed on Thanksgiving." And we had never heard of a
Closed on before, and with tears in our eyes we drove off
Into the sunset for another place to put the garbage.

We didn't find one. we came to a side road, and off the side of the
Side road there was another fifteen foot cliff and at the of the
Cliff there was another pile of garbage. And we decided one big pile
Is better than two little piles, and rather than bring one up we
to throw our's down.

That's what we did, and drove to the church, had a thanksgiving
Dinner that couldn't be beat, to sleep and didn't get up until the
Next morning, when we got a phone call from Obie. He said, "Kid,
We found name on an envelope at the bottom of a half a ton of
Garbage, and just wanted to know if you had any about it." And
I said, "Yes, sir, Officer Obie, I cannot tell a lie, I put that
Under garbage."

After speaking to Obie for about fourty-five on the telephone we
Finally arrived at the truth of the matter and said we had to go down
And up the garbage, and also had to go down and speak to him at the
Police officer's station. So we got in the red VW with the
Shovels and rakes and implements of and headed on toward the
Police station.

Now friends, there was only one or two that Obie coulda done at
The police station, and the was he could have given us a medal for
Being so brave and honest on the telephone, which very likely, and
We expect it, and the other thing was he could have bawled us out
And told us to be see driving garbage around the vicinity again,
is what we expected, but when we got to the police officer's station
There was a possibility that we hadn't even counted upon, and we was
immediately arrested. Handcuffed. And I said "Obie, I don't think I
Can pick up the garbage with these on." He said, "Shut up, kid.
Get in the back of the car."

And that's what we did, sat in the back of the patrol car and to the
Quote Scene of the Crime unquote. I tell you about the town of
Stockbridge, Massachusets, this happened here, they got three stop
Signs, two officers, and one police car, but when we got to the
Scene of the Crime there was five police officers and police cars,
Being the biggest crime of the fifty years, and everybody wanted to
Get in the newspaper story about it. And they was up all kinds of
Cop equipment that had hanging around the police officer's station.
was taking plaster tire tracks, foot prints, dog smelling prints, and
They took twenty eight-by-ten colour glossy photographs with circles
And arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what
One was to be used as evidence against us. Took of the approach,
The getaway, the corner the southwest corner and that's not to
the aerial photography.

After the ordeal, we went back to the jail. said he was going to put
Us in the cell. Said, "Kid, I'm going to put you in the cell, I want
Wallet and your belt." And I said, "Obie, I can understand you my
Wallet so I don't have any money to spend in the cell, but do you
my belt for?" And he said, "Kid, we don't want any hangings." I
Said, "Obie, did you think I was to hang myself for littering?"
Obie said he was making sure, and friends was, cause he took out the
Toilet seat so I couldn't hit myself the head and drown, and he took
Out the toilet so I couldn't bend the bars roll out the - roll the
Toilet paper out the window, slide down the roll and have an escape.
Was making sure, and it was about four or five hours later Alice
(remember Alice? It's a song about Alice), came by and with a few
Nasty words to Obie on the side, us out of jail, and we went back
To the church, had a another thanksgiving that couldn't be beat,
And didn't get up the next morning, when we all had to go to court.

We walked in, sat down, Obie in with the twenty seven eight-by-ten
glossy pictures with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back
Of each one, sat down. Man in said, "All rise." We all stood up,
And Obie stood up with the twenty eight-by-ten colour glossy
Pictures, and the judge walked in sat down with a eye dog, and he
Sat down, we sat down. Obie looked at the seeing eye dog, and at the
Twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures circles and arrows
And a paragraph on the back of each one, and at the seeing eye dog.
And then at twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures with
And arrows and a paragraph on the back of one and began to cry,
'cause Obie came to the that it was a typical case of American
Blind justice, and there wasn't he could do about it, and the
Judge wasn't going to at the twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy
Pictures with the circles and arrows and a paragraph on the of each
One what each one was to be used as evidence against us. And
We was fined $50 and had to pick up the garbage in the snow, but not
What I to tell you about.

Came to about the draft.
