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

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 doesn't live in the restaurant, she lives in the
Church nearby the restaurant, in the bell-tower, her husband Ray and
the dog. And livin' in the bell tower like that, they got a lot of
Room downstairs where the pews used to be in. Havin' all room,
Seein' as how they took out all the pews, they decided they didn't
Have to take out their for a long time.

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

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

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

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

After speaking to Obie for about fourty-five minutes on the we
Finally arrived at the of the matter and said 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 headed on the
Police station.

Now friends, there was only one or two things that Obie done at
The police station, and the first was he have given us a medal for
Being so brave and honest on the telephone, which very likely, and
We didn't expect it, and the other thing was he could have us out
And told us never to be see driving garbage the vicinity again,
Which is what we expected, but when we got to the police officer's
There was a third possibility that we hadn't even upon, and we was
Both 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 of the patrol car."

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

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

We walked in, sat down, Obie came in with the seven eight-by-ten
Colour glossy with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back

And stood up with the twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy
Pictures, and the walked in sat down with a seeing eye dog, and he
Sat down, we sat down. looked at the seeing eye dog, and then at the
Twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures with and arrows
And a on the back of each one, and looked at the seeing eye dog.
And then at twenty eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures with circles
And arrows and a on the back of each one and began to cry,
'cause came to the realization that it was a typical case of American
Blind justice, and there wasn't nothing he could do it, and the
Judge wasn't to look at the twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy
Pictures with the and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each
One what each 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
