(It) is Not the Name of the Restaurant, That's Just the Name of the Song


Alice's Restaurant - Arlo Guthrie - Full song from Scott Wade on Vimeo.

This performance even had my father laughing so hard tears were running down his face the first time he heard it.

Just remember, friends:

If you want to join the Alice's Restaurant Anti-Massacre Movement, and
all you got to do to join is sing it the next time it come's around on the
guitar.

With feeling. So we'll wait for it to come around on the guitar, here and
sing it when it does. Here it comes.
You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant
You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant
Walk right in it's around the back
Just a half a mile from the railroad track
You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant

That used to be the one party-piece I had, to be able to recite the whole 20 minute thing verbatim.
Don't know if I could still do it. But at the time, it was nice.
