Oh that guy McKenzie. I like it. I'll do a couple of verses. Sing that whole file if you want me to do it. This is a Woody Guthrie song. (after Red Rosey Bush).
Cynthia: Do "Talking Lobbyist".
A guy: Yeah, yeah. Do "Talking Lobbyist". That’s a good song.
Dylan: Ahh. It’s not that good. It’s a... I gotta do a ... I can’t do a... I can’t do a Talkin’ if we’re on the tape recorder without... It has to be Woody Guthrie. (almost to himself) It has to be Woody Guthrie.
Cynthia: Do "Talking Lobbyist".
Dylan never stops playing guitar throughout the following dialog. He starts Guthrie's Talking Columbia and almost finishes the first verse before...
Unknown person: Yeee-hah! Girl laughs.
Dylan: Get
Dylan shifts the lyrics over to Guthrie's "Talking Merchant Marine". He almost gets through the 2nd verse before Cynthia shouts out something.
Dylan: Screw YOU Cynthia. And all you (????).
Dylan sings the 3rd verse relatively uninterrupted. Right before the 4th verse Cynthia tries to sing something, parodying him. Dylan ignores her and sings the verse, but in the middle of the last line Cynthia shouts out something.
Dylan: Screw YOU Cynthia. (chuckles)
Cynthia again starts singing a few lines of something, parodying the Talkin' Blues format, ending with "Screw ya!".
Dylan: I said screw YOU. (almost laughing). I'm not done yet. (laughs)
He sings the 5th verse (the song has 7), with Cynthia still randomly calling things out.
Dylan: You're gonna get played right in the (????) tonight if you don't shut your God Damn mouth. (Laughter from the room). Split you right in half.
He strums a few more bars, then stops playing abruptly.
Dylan; Aw hell, I can't do it.
Cynthia: Do "Talking Lobbyist".

I scored 1550 on SAT and 5/5 in AP Physics C. I am sharing my journey of college admission preparation, which will help you understand the role of SAT preparation institutes. The SAT is an aptitude test which requires tricks and strategies to solve questions quickly and correctly. I started doing some mock tests to analyse which areas I was lagging behind in. Once I did a few tests, I got to know where I stood and hence, I needed the help of an expert to further increase my score. I joined Masterclass Space, as this academy is completely online so it saved my travel time. It is known for quality results and top-notch faculty from IITs, IIM & BITS-Pilani.
