Arlo Guthrie
|
|
This
|
|
song
|
|
is
|
|
called
|
|
Alice's
|
|
Restaurant
|
|
and
|
|
it's
|
|
about
|
|
Alice
|
|
And
|
|
the
|
|
restaurant
|
|
But
|
|
Alice's
|
|
Restaurant
|
|
is
|
|
not
|
|
the
|
|
name
|
|
of
|
|
the
|
|
restaurant
|
|
that's
|
|
just
|
|
the
|
|
name
|
|
of
|
|
the
|
|
song
|
|
And
|
|
that's
|
|
why
|
|
I
|
|
called
|
|
the
|
|
song
|
|
Alice's
|
|
Restaurant

went

up

and

Fasha
|
|
the

dog

|
and
|
|
living

|
in
|
|
the
|
|
bell
|
|
tower
|
|
like
|
|
that

|
|
Answer
|
|
they
|
|
got
|
|
a
|
|
lot
|
|
of
|
|
room
|
|
downstairs
|
|
where
|
|
the
|
|
pews
|
|
used
|
|
to
|
|
be
|
|
in
|
|
and
|
|
having
|
|
all
|
|
that
|
|
room
|
|
seeing
|
|
as
|
|
how
|
|
they
|
|
took
|
|
out
|
|
all
|
|
the
|
|
pews
|
|
they
|
|
decided
|
|
that
|
|
they
|
|
didn't
|
|
have
|
|
to
|
|
take
|
|
out
|
|
their
|
|
garbage
|
|
for
|
|
a
|
|
long
|
|
time
|
|
We
|
|
got
|
|
up
|
|
there
|
|
we
|
|
found
|
|
all
|
|
the
|
|
garbage
|
|
in
|
|
there
|
|
and
|
|
we
|
|
decided
|
|
it
|
|
would
|
|
be
|
|
a
|
|
friendly
|
|
gesture
|
|
for
|
|
us
|
|
to
|
|
take
|
|
the
|
|
garbage
|
|
down
|
|
to
|
|
the
|
|
|
Answer
|
|
city
|
|
dump
|
|
So
|
|
we
|
|
took
|
|
the
|
|
half
|
|
ton
|
|
of
|
|
garbage
|
|
put
|
|
it
|
|
in
|
|
the
|
|
back
|
|
of
|
|
a
|
|
red
|
|
VW
|
|
Microbus
|
|
took
|
|
shovels
|
|
and
|
|
rakes
|
|
and
|
|
implements
|
|
of
|
|
destruction
|
|
and
|
|
headed
|
|
on
|
|
toward
|
|
the
|
|
city
|
|
dump
|
|
Well
|
|
we
|
|
got
|
|
there
|
|
and
|
|
there's
|
|
a
|
|
big
|
|
sign
|
|
and
|
|
a
|
|
chain
|
|
across
|
|
the
|
|
dump
|
|
saying
|
|
Closed
|
|
on
|
|
Thanksgiving
|
|
and
|
|
we
|
|
had
|
|
never
|
|
heard
|
|
of
|
|
a
|
|
dump
|
|
closed
|
|
on
|
|
Thanksgiving
|
|
before
|
|
and
|
|
with
|
|
tears
|
|
in
|
|
our
|
|
|
Answer
|
|
eyes
|
|
we
|
|
drove
|
|
off
|
|
into
|
|
the
|
|
sunset
|
|
looking
|
|
for
|
|
another
|
|
place
|
|
to
|
|
put
|
|
the
|
|
garbage
|
|
We
|
|
didn't
|
|
find
|
|
one
|
|
Til
|
|
we
|
|
came
|
|
to
|
|
a
|
|
side
|
|
road
|
|
and
|
|
off
|
|
the
|
|
side
|
|
of
|
|
the
|
|
side
|
|
road
|
|
there
|
|
was
|
|
another
|
|
fifteen
|
|
foot
|
|
cliff
|
|
and
|
|
at
|
|
the
|
|
bottom
|
|
of
|
|
the
|
|
cliff
|
|
was
|
|
another
|
|
pile
|
|
of
|
|
garbage
|
|
And
|
|
we
|
|
decided
|
|
that
|
|
one
|
|
big
|
|
pile
|
|
is
|
|
better
|
|
than
|
|
two
|
|
little
|
|
piles
|
|
and
|
|
rather
|
|
than
|
|
bring
|
|
that
|
|
one
|
|
|
Answer
|
|
up
|
|
we
|
|
decided
|
|
to
|
|
throw
|
|
ours
|
|
down
|
|
That's
|
|
what
|
|
we
|
|
did
|
|
and
|
|
drove
|
|
back
|
|
to
|
|
the
|
|
church
|
|
had
|
|
a
|
|
Thanksgiving
|
|
dinner
|
|
that
|
|
couldn't
|
|
be
|
|
beat
|
|
went
|
|
to
|
|
sleep
|
|
and
|
|
didn't
|
|
get
|
|
up
|
|
until
|
|
the
|
|
next
|
|
morning
|
|
when
|
|
we
|
|
got
|
|
a
|
|
phone
|
|
call
|
|
from
|
|
Officer
|
|
Obie
|
|
He
|
|
said
|
|
Kid
|
|
we
|
|
found
|
|
your
|
|
name
|
|
on
|
|
an
|
|
envelope
|
|
at
|
|
the
|
|
bottom
|
|
of
|
|
a
|
|
half
|
|
a
|
|
ton
|
|
of
|
|
garbage
|
|
and
|
|
just
|
|
wanted
|
|
to
|
|
know
|
|
if
|
|
|
Answer
|
|
you
|
|
had
|
|
any
|
|
information
|
|
about
|
|
it
|
|
And
|
|
I
|
|
said
|
|
Yes
|
|
sir
|
|
Officer
|
|
Obie
|
|
I
|
|
cannot
|
|
tell
|
|
a
|
|
lie
|
|
I
|
|
put
|
|
that
|
|
envelope
|
|
under
|
|
that
|
|
garbage
|
|
After
|
|
speaking
|
|
to
|
|
Obie
|
|
for
|
|
about
|
|
forty
|
|
five
|
|
minutes
|
|
on
|
|
the
|
|
telephone
|
|
we
|
|
finally
|
|
arrived
|
|
at
|
|
the
|
|
truth
|
|
of
|
|
the
|
|
matter
|
|
and
|
|
said
|
|
that
|
|
we
|
|
had
|
|
to
|
|
go
|
|
down
|
|
and
|
|
pick
|
|
up
|
|
the
|
|
garbage
|
|
and
|
|
also
|
|
had
|
|
to
|
|
go
|
|
down
|
|
and
|
|
speak
|
|
to
|
|
him
|
|
at
|
|
the
|
|
