Song by Karen O<br /><br>

Oh God said to Abraham, "Kill me a son" <br>

Abe says, "Man, you must be puttin' me on" <br>

God say, "No." Abe say, "What?" <br>

God say, "You can do what you want Abe, but <br>

The next time you see me comin' you better run" <br>

Well Abe says, "Where do you want this killin' done?" <br>

God says, "Out on Highway 61." <br>

<br>

Well Georgia Sam he had a bloody nose <br>

Welfare Department they wouldn't give him no clothes <br>

He asked poor Howard where can I go <br>

Howard said there's only one place I know <br>

Sam said tell me quick man I got to run <br>

Ol' Howard just pointed with his gun <br>

And said that way down on Highway 61. <br>

<br>

Well Mack the Finger said to Louie the King <br>

I got forty red white and blue shoe strings <br>

And a thousand telephones that don't ring <br>

Do you know where I can get rid of these things <br>

And Louie the King said let me think for a minute son <br>

And he said yes I think it can be easily done <br>

Just take everything down to Highway 61. <br>

<br>

Now the fifth daughter on the twelfth night <br>

Told the first father that things weren't right <br>

My complexion she said is much too white <br>

He said come here and step into the light he says hmm you're right <br>

Let me tell the second mother this has been done <br>

But the second mother was with the seventh son <br>

And they were both out on Highway 61. <br>

<br>

Now the rovin' gambler he was very bored <br>

He was tryin' to create a next world war <br>

He found a promoter who nearly fell off the floor <br>

He said I never engaged in this kind of thing before <br>

But yes I think it can be very easily done <br>

We'll just put some bleachers out in the sun <br>

And have it on Highway 61.<br>

<br>
