Bob Dylan Is Great

Bob Dylan is great
And he is real mate

He started out like Woodie Guthrie
But only roughly

He told us the answer was in the wind
He was all so thin

He went electric and creative
It went hectic and stimulative

He was called Judas and booed off stage
The crowds were in a rage

He fell off his motorbike
And things changed again with a strike

He hid in a basement
Curing his ailment

Then he returned to the watchtower
With even more power

He knocked on heaven's door
And he was back to his fore

He split with Sara
And made a movie about a Clara

There was blood on the tracks
But he reached a new climax

He got lost in religion
And hovered around like a pigeon

He took a slow train
And soon started to regain

He became a shooting star
No signs of any scars

Even though the world had gone wrong
He still sang his song

Then came 'Time out of Mind'
Nothing like it of any kind

Lots of things had changed
But in a sense it was just rearranged

Roll on Bob
But watch your fob

Then came the Nobel Prize
For us it was no surprise

Bob Dylan is Great
And bloody real mate

Bob Dylan is great
Bob Dylan is unreal mate
