This is a talking one.
I always have to talk songs in a certain period of singing.
When you can't sing them too good,
I sing talking ones.
This is called Talking World War III.
This is called Talking World War III.
I
wouldn't worry about it none,
no,
them dreams are only in your head,
he said.
I said,
hold it,
Doc,
World War III passed through my brain.
He said, nurse, get your pad,
the boy's insane.
Well,
he threw me down as I said ouch and I landed hard on the
cypriatric couch.
He said, tell me about it.
Well, the whole thing started at 3 o'clock
past, it was all over by a quarter past.
I was down in the sewer with some little lover
when I peeked out from a manhole cover,
wondering who turned the lights on us.
Well,
I got up and I walked around,
up and down the lonesome town,
wondering which way
to go.
I lit a cigarette on a parking meter and I walked on down the road.
It was a normal day.
Well,
I run me a fallout sheltered bell,
I lean my head and I give a big yell.
Give me a string
bean, I'm a hungry man.
A shotgun fired and away I ran.
I don't blame him much though,
he didn't know me.
Well,
down in the corner I saw a man turning around by the hot dog stand.
I said, howdy,
friend, I guess it's just us two.
He screamed a while and away he flew.
Thought I was a communist.
Well,
I remember seeing some newspaper ads so I turned on Comrade.
But I didn't pay my con ed
bill so the radio didn't work so well.
So I turned on the record player.
It was
Fabian singing,
tell your ma,
tell your pa,
our loves are gonna grow.
Well,
I spied me a girl and before she could leave I said,
let's go play Adam and Eve. I took her
by the hand and my heart was thumping.
She said, hey man, you crazy or something?
You see what happened last time they started.
Well,
I looked in the Cadillac window uptown,
I spied me a car with no one around.
I jumped in the driver's seat and I drove down 42nd Street.
Just driving along in my Cadillac.
Good car to drive after a war.
Well,
by
that time I was feeling lonesome and blue.
I needed somebody to talk to.
So
I called up the operator at time just to hear a voice of some kind.
When you hear the beep,
it will be three o'clock.
She said that for over an hour and I hung up.
Well,
the doctor interrupted me just about then saying,
I've been having the same old dream.
But mine was a little different, you see.
I dreamt instead of you walking around,
it was me.
I see you nowhere.
Well,
time passed and now it seems everybody's having them dreams.
Everybody's seeing their own selves walking around with no one else.
Well,
half the people can be part right all of the time.
All the people can be half right some of the time.
But all the people can't be all right all of the time.
Abraham Lincoln said that.
I'll let you be in my dream if I can be in yours.
I said that.
