Help me out here: I could have sworn that in the original he talked about sitting on the Group W bench with people who were “repressed, suppressed, oppressed, and depressed.”
I loved that line. But I can’t find the original on ITunes and had to settle for a newer version by Arlo Guthrie which seems to have everything else but that line.
Does anyone else remember that line? It was my favorite.
That line wasn’t about the group W bench. It is from earlier in the song when he talks/sings about having to go for his pre-enlistment physical at the ‘building down on Whitehall street.’

"But that's not what I'm here to tell you about.
I'm here to talk about the draft.
They got a buildin' down in New York City called Whitehall Street, where you walk in, you get injected, inspected, detected, infected, neglected and selected!"

Hope that helps.....
