--words and music by Bob Dylan
from "Michael Stanley", 1973, Tumbleweed Records
Johnny's in the basement Mixing up the medicine I'm on the pavement Thinking about the government The man in a trench coat Badge out, laid off Says he's got a bad cough Wants to get paid off... Look out kid Don't you keep it all hid God knows when But you're doin' it again Look out kid Don't you keep it all hid God knows when But you're doin' it again Get born, keep warm Hang around an ink well Ring bell, hard to tell If anything is goin' to sell Please her, please him, buy gifts Babe don't you steal them Twenty years of schoolin' And they put you on the day shift... Look out kid Don't you keep it all hid God knows when But you're doin' it again, now Look out kid Don't you keep it all hid God knows when But you're doin' it again Walk on your tip toes Don't try, 'No Doz' Try to stay away from those That play around a fire hose Keep a clean nose Wash your clean clothes You don't need a weather man To know which way the wind blows... Look out kid Don't you keep it all hid God knows when But you're doin' it again, yeah Look out kid Don't you keep it all hid, now God knows when But you're doin' it again, now Look out kid Don't you keep it all hid God knows when But you're doin' it again, again now Look out kid Don't you keep it all hid God knows when But you're doin' it again, you're doing it again now Look out kid Don't you keep it all hid God knows when But you're doin' it again, now Look out kid Don't you keep it all hid God knows when But you're doin' it again Look out kid
