words and music by Arlo

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

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

But that's not why I to dedicate the song to the FBI. I
mean, the job that have 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 highway and I'm drivin' down the and I
run out of gasoline. I pull over to the of the road. They
gotta pull too - make believe that they ran out, you
know.

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

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

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

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

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

But of the last guy. For one minute, think of the last
guy. Nobody's got it worse that guy. Nobody in the
whole world. That guy...he's so in the world that he
even have a street to lay in for a truck to run him over.
He's out there nothin'. Nothin's happenin' for that cat.

And all he has to do to create 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 are comin' over for dinner" (click)
up the phone.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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