Luyện nghe bài hát The Pause of Mr. Claus

words and music by Arlo

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

Well, a minute. It's 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 25 years with the
organization to be that much of a bastard. true. You just
join, you know. It needs an atmosphere where your
natural can grow and develop and take a
meaningful 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 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 to the side of the road. They
gotta over too - make believe that they ran out, you
know.

I go to get gasoline. They 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 fare. But the thing is that
when you pay the full fare, you to get on the airplane
first, so that know how many seats are left over for the
fare kids. Right? And sometimes there aren't any seats
left over, and sometimes there are, but that doesn't mean
you to go.

Suppose that he gets on and fills up the last seat, so you
get on. he gets off then you can get on. What's he gonna
do?

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

During these hard days and 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 that bad. Look at guy." And you at that
guy, and he's got it worse than you. And it makes you
better that there's somebody got it worse than you.

But think of the last guy. For one minute, think of the
guy. got it worse than that guy. Nobody in the
whole world. That guy...he's so in the world that he
doesn't even have a to lay in for a truck to run him over.
He's out with 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 dime from somewhere, 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 two minutes, and not two minutes from when he
hangs up the phone, but two minutes from he first put
the dime in, they got 30,000 feet of rollin'; files on tape;
pictures, movies, dramas, on tape. But then they send
out a half a people all over the entire world, the globe,
find out all they can about this guy.

'Cause 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 people that aren't the
guys that can't get dimes. He comes and he gets a dime.

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

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

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

And that's why I'd like to dedicate it to every FBI
man in the audience. I know you say nothin', you know,
you get up and say "Hi!" cause then everybody knows
that an FBI man and that's a drag for you and your
friends.

They're not really friends, are they? I mean, so you can't
get up and say nothin' 'cause other wise, you gotta get
back to the factory and that's a drag for you and 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 there in the audience tonight. It's "The
of Mr. Claus".

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

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

get Santa Clause 'cause;
Santa has a red suit
He's a
And a beard, and long
Must be a
What's in the pipe that he's

Mister Clause sneaks in your at night.
He must be a fiend, to put you up tight
Why do police guys on peace guys?
