ALL OVER YOU
Written by Bob Dylan
As recorded by Bob Dylan on "The Witmark Demos: 1962-1964 (The Bootleg Series Vol. 9)"

Well, if I had to do it all over again,
Babe, I'd do it all over you;
And if I had to wait for ten thousand years,
Babe, I'd even do that too.
Well, a dog's got his bone in the alley.
A cat, she's got nine lives.
A millionaire's got a million dollars.
King Saud's got four hundred wives.
Well, ev'rybody's got somethin'
That they're lookin' forward to.
I'm lookin' forward to when I can do it all again,
And, babe, I'll do it all over you.

Well, if I had my way tomorrow or today,
Babe, I'd run circles all around.
I'd jump up in the wind, do a somersault and spin.
I'd even dance a jig on the ground.
Well, ev'rybody gets their hour.
Ev'rybody gets their time:
Little David when he picked up his pebbles,
Even Sampson after he went blind.
Well, ev'rybody gets their chance
To do what they want to do.
When my time arrives, you better run for your life,
'Cause babe, I'll do it all over you.

Well, I don't need no money; I just need a day that's sunny,
Baby, and my day's a-gonna come.
When I grab me a pint, you know that I'm a giant
When you hear me yellin', "Fee-fi-fo-fum."
Well, you cut me like a jigsaw puzzle.
You made me to a walkin' wreck;
When you pushed my heart through my backbone,
And you knocked off my head from my neck.
Well, if I'm ever standin' steady,
Or a-doin' what I want to do,
Well, I tell you, little lover, that you better run for cover,
'Cause, babe, I'll do it all over you.

I'm just restin' at your gate so that I won't be late,
And, mama, I'm-a just sittin' on the shelf.
Look out your window fair; you'll see me squattin' there,
Just a-stumblin' and a-mumblin' to myself.
Well, after my cigarettes have been smoked up,
After all my liquor's been drunk,
After my dreams have been dreamed out,
After all my thoughts have been thunk,
Well, after I do some of these things,
I'm gonna do what I have to do,
And I tell you on the side, that you better run and hide,
'Cause, babe, I'll do it all over you.
