Hey Bob Dylan I wrote you a song [00:00:09]

Today is your birthday if I'm not wrong [00:00:11]

If I'm not mistaken you're fifty today [00:00:13]

How are you doin' Bob? What do you say? [00:00:16]

Well it musta been about '62 [00:00:20]

I heard you on record and you were brand-new [00:00:22]

An' some had some doubts about the way you sang [00:00:25]

But the truth came through and loudly rang [00:00:27]

Yeah you were hipper than Mitch Miller [00:00:32]

And Johnny Mathis put together [00:00:37]

So I got some boots a harmonica rack [00:00:40]

A D-21 an' I was on the right track [00:00:43]

But I didn't start writing until '68 [00:00:45]

It was too damn daunting you were too great [00:00:48]

I won a whole lot of Bob Dylan imitation contests though huh [00:00:53]

Yeah times were a-changin' [00:01:01]

You brought it all home [00:01:02]

'Blonde On Blonde' 'Like a Rolling Stone' [00:01:04]

The real world is crazy you were deranged [00:01:06]

An' when you went electric why everything changed [00:01:09]

A shock to the system [00:01:14]

Had a commission at yer motorcycle wreck [00:01:23]

Holed up in Woodstock with a broken neck [00:01:25]

The labels were signin' up guys with guitars out to make millions lookin' for stars [00:01:28]

Well I figured it was time to make my move [00:01:36]

Songs from the West Chester County Delta country [00:01:40]

Yeah I got a deal and so did John Prine [00:01:45]

Steve Forbert and Springsteen all in a line [00:01:48]

They were lookin' for you signin' up others [00:01:51]

We were 'new Bob Dylans' your dumb-a** kid brothers [00:01:53]

Well we still get together every week at Bruce's house [00:02:01]

Why he's got quite a spread I tell ya [00:02:05]

It's a twelve-step program [00:02:09]

Well but we were just us and of course you were you [00:02:13]

'John Wesley Harding' sure sounded new [00:02:15]

And then 'Nashville Skyline' was even newer [00:02:18]

'Blood On the Tracks' an' the ringin' got truer [00:02:21]

Let's see there was another one in there somewhere [00:02:27]

Oh I got it I got it 'Self Portrait' [00:02:31]

Well it was an interesting effort [00:02:39]

Yeah had to stop listening times were too tough [00:02:47]

Me bein' the new me was hard enough [00:02:49]

You keep right on changin' like you always do [00:02:52]

An' what's best is the old stuff still all sounds new [00:02:54]

Yeah today is your birthday have a great one Bob [00:03:05]

Bein' the new you is one hell of a job [00:03:08]

My kid cranked up her boom-box to almost grown [00:03:10]

When I heard you screamin' [00:03:14]

From her room [00:03:16]

'Everybody must get stoned ' [00:03:18]

Thanks a lot Bob [00:03:22]

Happy birthday Bob [00:03:28]
