See You Later Allen Ginsberg

Bob and the Band
Say adios to Ginsberg
Over and over.

This is a completely ridiculous Band/Dylan singalong from the Basement Tapes sessions in 1967. It's a variation on "See You Later, Alligator." It goes like this:

Crocagator (See you later, crocagator)
After a while, smockawhile (See you later, Allen Ginsberg)
See you later alligator (See you later, crocagator)
After a while, crocodile (In a while, Allen Ginsberg)
See you while, crocagator (See you later, crocagator)
After a while, crocodile (in a while, crocodile)
Allen Ginsberg, later gator (see you later Allen, Ginsberg)
Later later, Allen Ginsberg (see you while, alligile)
Allen Ginsberg, later later (later, later on the Nile)
Allen Ginsberg, after a while (see you later if you're wild)
Allen Ginsberg, Allen Ginsberg (see you later, crocagator)
Allen Ginsberg, after a while (see you later, crocagator)

You get the idea. And if you still want to hear the song, you can get it on volume 11 of the Bootleg Series.
