For the record, that line _(‘Alice? Who the fuck is Alice?’)_ is NOT a part of original lyrics. It’s a drunken frat-boy add-on, similar to the equally-vulgar line that Billy Idol tacked on when he covered the Tommy James and the Shondells song _‘Mony Mony’_. In play: it was about four or five hours later that Alice _(Remember Alice? There’s a song about Alice…)_, Alice came by and, with a few nasty words to Obie on the side, bailed us out of jail, and we went back to the church, had another Thanksgiving dinner that couldn’t be beat, and didn’t get up until the next morning, when we all had to go to court. _Alice’s Restaurant Massacree_ – Arlo Guthrie _ **-“BB”-** _ ---
