Blonde on Blonde session 1, Columbia Studio A, NYC - 5.oct.1965, take 6 mis-slate  

Well, the rainman comes with his magic wand
But the judge says, "Mona can't have no bond."
Walls collide, Mona cries
Rainman leaves in the wolfman's disguise.
Oh-oh

I wanna be your lover, baby
I wanna be your man
I wanna be your lover, baby
I don't wanna be hers
I wanna be yours.

Now the undertaker in his midnight suit
Says to the madman, "Ain't you cute"
The madman he jumps up on the shelf
And he says, "You ain't so bad yourself."
Oh-oh, yeah

I wanna be your lover, baby
I wanna be your man
I wanna be your lover, baby
I don't wanna be hers
I wanna be yours.

Well, jumping Judy can't go no higher
She got bullets in her eyes and they fire
Rasputin he's so dignified
He touched the back of her head then he died.
Oh-oh

I wanna be your lover, baby
I wanna be your man
I wanna be your lover, baby
I don't wanna be hers
I wanna be yours.
Oh, all right

Well, Phaedra with her looking glass
When she lays upon the grass
She gets all messed up, she faints
That's 'cause she's so obvious and you ain't.
Oh-oh

I wanna be your lover, baby
I wanna be your man
I wanna be your lover, baby
I don't wanna be hers
I wanna be yours
I wanna be yours.
