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. hard 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 takes at least 25 with the
organization to be that much of a bastard. true. You just
can't join, you know. It an atmosphere where your
natural can grow and develop and take a
shape in today's complex society.

But that's not why I want to dedicate the to the FBI. I
mean, the job that they have to do is a drag. I mean, they
to follow people around, you know. That's part of 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 side of the road.
pull over too - make believe that they ran out, you
know.

I go to get some gasoline. have to figure out whether
should stick with the car or follow me. Suppose I don't
come back and they're stayin' 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 full fare, you have to get on the
first, so that they know how many are left over for the
half fare kids. Right? And sometimes there aren't any
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, a drag for him. But that's not why I want to dedicate
the to the FBI.

these hard days and hard weeks, everybody always
has it bad once in a while. You know, you a bad time of
it, and you always have a who says "Hey man, you
ain't got it bad. Look at that guy." And you at that
guy, and he's got it worse than you. And it you feel
better that there's somebody that's got it than you.

But of the last guy. For one minute, think of the last
guy. Nobody's got it worse than guy. Nobody in the
whole world. guy...he's so alone 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 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 friends are comin' over for dinner" (click)
up the phone.

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

'Cause there's a number of questions 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 people that aren't the
that can't 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 dinner for all of those people? How could the
last guy make for all those people. And if he could
dinner, and was gonna make dinner, then why did he
call the

They find out all of those questions two minutes. And
that's a great thing about America. I mean, this is the
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 that would take two minutes
for guy.

Other countries 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 thing America.

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

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

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

Why do you sit so strange?
Is it because you are
You must you are deranged
Why do police guys on peace guys?

You must think Clause weird
He has hair and a beard
his presents for free
Why do police guys mess with peace

And a beard, and hair

What's in the pipe that he's

Mister Clause sneaks in your at night.

Why do police guys on peace guys?
