To: a little elbow grease

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.’

You may be thinking of this part....

"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.....
