Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Alternate lyrics to Arlo Guthrie piece
I got to hang out with Arlo in '67 and '68 when he was playing in Greenwich Village. He got tired of doing AR the same way every night, and would occassionaly improvise a new version. The only one I have any recollection of was ALICE'S RESTAURANT PLEASE TIP THE GASLIGHT WAITRESS BLUES, which ended up with, "if you don't tip the waitress, then you are undermining the very foundations of the capitalist system, and nobody here wants to see that happen do they?"
