" There ought to be a law
Against you comin’ around "
Ballad of a Thin Man
WRITTEN BY: BOB DYLAN
You walk into the room
With your pencil in your hand
You see somebody naked
And you say, “Who is that man?”
You try so hard
But you don’t understand
Just what you’ll say
When you get home
Because something is happening here
But you don’t know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
You raise up your head
And you ask, “Is this where it is?”
And somebody points to you and says
“It’s his”
And you say, “What’s mine?”
And somebody else says, “Where what is?”
And you say, “Oh my God
Am I here all alone?”
Because something is happening here
But you don’t know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
You hand in your ticket
And you go watch the geek
Who immediately walks up to you
When he hears you speak
And says, “How does it feel
To be such a freak?”
And you say, “Impossible”
As he hands you a bone
Because something is happening here
But you don’t know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
You have many contacts
Among the lumberjacks
To get you facts
When someone attacks your imagination
But nobody has any respect
Anyway they already expect you
To just give a check
To tax-deductible charity organizations
You’ve been with the professors
And they’ve all liked your looks
With great lawyers you have
Discussed lepers and crooks
You’ve been through all of
F. Scott Fitzgerald’s books
You’re very well read
It’s well known
Because something is happening here
But you don’t know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
Well, the sword swallower, he comes up to you
And then he kneels
He crosses himself
And then he clicks his high heels
And without further notice
He asks you how it feels
And he says, “Here is your throat back
Thanks for the loan”
Because something is happening here
But you don’t know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
Now you see this one-eyed midget
Shouting the word “NOW”
And you say, “For what reason?”
And he says, “How?”
And you say, “What does this mean?”
And he screams back, “You’re a cow
Give me some milk
Or else go home”
Because something is happening here
But you don’t know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
Well, you walk into the room
Like a camel and then you frown
You put your eyes in your pocket
And your nose on the ground
There ought to be a law
Against you comin’ around
You should be made
To wear earphones
Because something is happening here
But you don’t know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?

Is he having fun here? I've never seen such joy on his face.

[@familytreemusic]

What a performance! Never saw Dylan so happy to be on stage and singing one of his greatest masterpieces and my personal favorite. " here's you channel back, thanks for the upload" ;)

A WOOLHALL!!! 🎈📌💥 Oh wow this just made me laugh of Bob laughing and then the echo of his voice!!!! And Bob is having the greatest time being all dramatic with it !!! Truly vaudevillian! And then the the way he plays the harp in places totally hamming it up! True comedy sketch! I cannot wipe the grin off my face and stop laughing~This is the absolute best I am putting it on all my playlists and I will be revisiting here a lot! This just made me so much better! It was just the best thing for me today! I am so thrilled about it! ❤🤍❤🤍❤🤍❤🤍❤🤍❤🤍❤🤍❤🤍❤🤍❤🤍❤🤍❤🤍❤🤍❤🤍❤🤍❤🤍❤🤍❤🤍❤🤍❤🤍❤🤍❤🤍❤🤍❌⭕❌⭕

Something is happening here ha ha and you don't know what it is 2'8'' ha ha - thanks Woolhahall - this one is so greheheat.

[@LibertysTom]

Well, that was a lot of fun. Dylan used the mouth harp as balance to the humor. Every song a lesson in how to live. . . one of his best.

[@marygoff3102]

Had to share this to Twitter! Thanks Woolhall! Bob you are marvelously amazing!

[@conwayenda1]

What is that device in his other hand. The white thing. Is that for voice distortion??

[@williemctell5898]

Just lovely. Thanks for sharing.

[@marzipersi486]

Ganz abgesehen vom Echo. Den Mut muss man erstmal haben, diese Stimme auch noch zu vervielfältigen.

[@edicamon8486]

What's happening here Mr. Jones? No reply Who is the thin man, Dylan or Jones? There's no answer. Merci mon ami.
