rate me

Oh God said to abraham 'kill me a son'<br>Abe said 'man you must be puttin me on'<br>God said 'no', abe said 'what'<br>God say 'you can do what you wanna but<br>The next time you see me comin you better run'<br>Well abe said 'where d'you want this killin done'<br>God said 'out on highway 61'<br>Well georgia sam he had a bloody nose<br>Welfare department wouldn't give him no clothes<br>They 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>Oh howard just pointed with his gun<br>And said 'that way down highway 61'<br>Well mack the finger said to louie the king<br>'i got 40 red white and blue shoestrings<br>And a thousand telephone 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>Then he said 'yes I think it can be easily done<br>Just take everything down to highway 61'<br>Now the 5th daughter on the 12th night<br>Told the first father that things weren't right<br>'my complexion', she says, 'is much too white'<br>He said 'come here and step into the light'<br>He said 'hmm you're right let me tell the 2nd mother this has been done'<br>But the 2nd mother was with the 7th son<br>And they were both out on highway 61<br>Now the roving gambler he was very bored<br>Trying 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'
