Luyện nghe bài hát Alice's Restaurant Massacree

This is called Alice's Restaurant, and it's about Alice, and the
Restaurant, but Restaurant 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 Alice's
Walk right in around the back
a half a mile from the railroad track
You can get anything you want at Restaurant

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

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

Well we got there and there was a big sign and a chain across the
Dump saying, "Closed on Thanksgiving." And we had heard of a dump
Closed on Thanksgiving before, and with in our eyes we drove off
the sunset looking 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 and at the bottom of the
Cliff there was another pile of garbage. And we decided that one big
Is better two little piles, and rather than bring that one up we
Decided to our's down.

That's what we did, and drove to the church, had a thanksgiving
Dinner that couldn't be beat, went to sleep and 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 if you had any information about it." And
I said, "Yes, sir, Officer Obie, I cannot tell a lie, I put that
Under garbage."

After speaking to Obie for fourty-five minutes on the telephone we
Finally arrived at the truth of the matter and that we had to go down
And up the garbage, and also had to go down and speak to him at the
officer's station. So we got in the red VW microbus with the
Shovels and rakes and implements of destruction and on toward the
officer's 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, wasn't very likely, and
We didn't expect it, and the other was he could have bawled us out
And told us never to be see garbage around the vicinity again,
Which is we expected, but when we got to the police officer's station
There was a third possibility that we hadn't even upon, and we was
Both immediately arrested. Handcuffed. And I "Obie, I don't think I
Can pick up the with these handcuffs on." He said, "Shut up, kid.
Get in the of the patrol 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 want tell you 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 and three police cars,
the biggest crime of the last fifty years, and everybody wanted to
Get in the newspaper story it. And they was using up all kinds of
Cop equipment that they had hanging around the officer's station.
They was plaster tire tracks, foot prints, dog smelling prints, and
They took twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy with circles
And and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what each
One was to be used as evidence against us. pictures of the approach,
The getaway, the corner the southwest corner and that's not to
Mention the 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 your
Wallet and your belt." And I said, "Obie, I can you wanting my
Wallet so I don't have any money to spend in the cell, but do you
Want my 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 Obie was, cause he took out the
Toilet seat so I couldn't hit myself over the head and drown, and he
Out the toilet paper so I couldn't bend the bars 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 that Alice
(remember It's a song about Alice), Alice came by and with a few
Nasty to Obie on the side, bailed us out of jail, and we went back
To the church, had a another thanksgiving dinner couldn't be beat,
And get up until the next morning, when we all had to go to court.

We walked in, sat down, Obie came in with the twenty seven
Colour glossy pictures with circles and arrows and a on the back
Of each one, sat down. Man in said, "All rise." We all stood up,
And Obie stood up with the seven eight-by-ten colour glossy
Pictures, and the judge walked in sat with a seeing 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 with circles and
And a paragraph on the back of one, and looked at the seeing eye dog.
And then at twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy with circles
And arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one and to cry,
'cause Obie came to the realization it was a typical case of American
justice, and there wasn't nothing he could do about it, and the
Judge wasn't going to look at the twenty seven colour glossy
Pictures with the circles and arrows and a on the back of each
One explaining what one was to be used as evidence against us. And
We was fined $50 and had to up the garbage in the snow, but thats not
