Luyện nghe bài hát The Pause of Mr. Claus

words and music by Guthrie

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

Well, wait a minute. It's hard to be an FBI man. I mean,
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 that of a bastard. It's true. You just
can't join, you know. It an atmosphere where your
bastardness 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 they have to do is a drag. I mean, they
to follow people around, you know. That's of their job.
me around.

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

I go to get some gasoline. They have to figure out
they should stick with the car or follow me. Suppose I
come back and they're with the car.

Or if I fly on the airplanes, I could fly fare because I'm 12
to 22. And they pay the full fare. But the thing is that
when you pay the fare, you have to get on the airplane
first, so that they know how 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 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 that's not why I to dedicate
the to the FBI.

During these hard and hard weeks, everybody always
has it bad in a while. You know, you have a bad time of
it, and you have 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 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. Nobody's got it worse that guy. Nobody in the
whole world. That guy...he's so alone in the world 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 dime from somewhere, up the FBI.
Say "FBl?", they say "Yes", say "I dig 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
hangs up the phone, but two minutes when he first put
the dime in, they got 30,000 of tape rollin'; files on tape;
pictures, movies, dramas, actions on tape. But then send
out a half a million all over the entire world, the globe,
they find out all they can about guy.

'Cause a number of questions 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 comes along and he 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 dinner for all those people. And if he could
make dinner, and was gonna dinner, then why did he
call the

They find out all of those 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 country
in the world that could find out in two minutes, but it's
the only country in the world that would two minutes
for guy.

Other countries would say "Hey, 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 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
you're 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 get sent
back to the and that's a drag for you and it's an
expense for the government, and that's a for you.

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

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

You must think Santa weird
He has long hair and a
Giving his for free
Why do police mess with peace guys?

Let's get Clause 'cause;
Santa Clause has a red
He's a
And a beard, and hair
be a pacifist
What's in the pipe that he's

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