words and music by Arlo

This next song we're going to dedicate to a American
organization. Tonight I'd to dedicate this to our boys
in the FBI.

Well, wait a minute. hard to be an FBI man. I mean, first
of all, being an FBI man, you have to be 40 years old.
And the reason is that it takes at 25 years with the
to be that much of a bastard. It's true. You just
can't join, you know. It needs an atmosphere where
bastardness can grow and develop and take a
meaningful in today's complex society.

But that's not why I want to dedicate the to the FBI. I
mean, the job that they to do is a drag. I mean, they have
to follow around, you know. That's part of their job.
me around.

I'm out on the and I'm drivin' down the road and I
run out of gasoline. I pull over to the side of the road.
gotta over too - make believe that they ran out, you
know.

I go to get gasoline. They have to figure out whether
they should stick with the car or me. Suppose I don't
come and they're stayin' with the car.

Or if I fly on the airplanes, I could fly half because I'm 12
to 22. And they gotta pay the full fare. But the thing is
when you pay the fare, you have to get on the airplane
first, so that they know how many seats are left for the
half fare kids. Right? And there aren't any seats
left over, and sometimes there are, but that mean that
you to go.

Suppose that he gets on and up the last seat, so you can't
get on. Then he gets off then you can get on. What's he
do?

Well, it's a drag for him. But not why I want to dedicate
the to the FBI.

During these days and hard weeks, everybody always
has it bad in a while. You know, you have a bad time of
it, and you always have a friend who "Hey man, you
got it that bad. Look at that guy." And you at that
guy, and he's got it worse you. And it makes you feel
better that there's somebody that's got it than you.

But think of the guy. For one minute, think of the last
guy. got it worse than that guy. Nobody in the
whole world. guy...he's so alone in the world that he
doesn't even have a street to lay in for a to run him over.
He's out there nothin'. Nothin's happenin' for that cat.

And all that he has to do to a little excitement in his
own life is to bum a from somewhere, call up the FBI.
Say "FBl?", say "Yes", say "I dig Uncle Ho and Chair-
man Mao, and their friends are comin' for dinner" (click)
up the phone.

And within two minutes, and not two from when he
hangs up the phone, but two minutes from when he put
the dime in, they got 30,000 feet of rollin'; files on tape;
pictures, movies, dramas, actions on tape. But then they
out a a million people all over the entire world, the globe,
they find out all they can about guy.

'Cause there's a number of involved in the guy. I
mean, if he was the last guy in the world, he get a dime
to call the FBI? are plenty of people that aren't the last
guys that can't get dimes. He along and he gets a dime.

I mean, if he had to bum a dime to the FBI, how was he
gonna serve dinner for all of people? How could the
last guy make dinner for all those people. And if he
make dinner, and was gonna dinner, then why did he
call the

They find out all of questions within two minutes. And
a great thing about America. I mean, this is the only
country in the world...l mean, well, it's not the only
in the world that could find stuff out in two minutes, but
the only in the world that would take two minutes
for guy.

Other would say "Hey, he's the last guy...screw
him", you know? But in America, is no discrimination,
and is no hypocrisy,'cause they'll get anybody. And that's
a wonderful about America.

And that's why I'd like to dedicate it to every FBI
man in the audience. I you can't say nothin', you know,
you can't get up and say "Hi!" cause then everybody
that you're an FBI man and that's a for you and your
friends.

not really your friends, are they? I mean, so you can't
get up and say nothin' 'cause other wise, you get sent
to the factory and that's a drag for you and it's an
expense for the government, and a drag for you.

We're sing you this Christmas carol. It's for all you
bastards out there in the audience tonight. called "The
