A comic follow-up to I Shall Be Free from Freewheelin', it sits in the middle of Another Side of Bob Dylan.
The words
A rambling, joking song in which the singer mocks himself, his critics and the world around him.
Like its predecessor, it strings together absurd scenes and wisecracks, each verse a fresh joke about boxing, politics, fame or his neighbours. There is no plot, just a running stream of nonsense delivered with a straight face and a refrain of freedom. Dylan plays it on guitar and harmonica, sounding relaxed and amused, a sign of the less earnest songwriter on this album.
