Intro to What’s the Story Mr. Blue Songtext
The other day I was reading in a magazine that, ah
Bob Dylan had written one of his songs by taking left-over lines from dozens of songs he′d never finished
And I decided, well, "By golly, I've got about 15 unfinished songs at home
And what I′m gonna do with them, I'm gonna take the lines I like out of each one of them
And I'm gonna kind of cram them all together into a mulligan stew kind of song" But the thing was that, all of the songs were on very, very different topics
And, so, to put them into one song, I had to develop them ′round a very basic plot
And a rock-and-roll beat
It goes
Now the plot goes like this: There was a fella named Mr. Blue
Who′s no relation to David Blue at all
He's Mr. Blue because he′s kind of sad
And he had a girlfriend, who he treated very badly
And, so she left him, and it serves him right
That's the plot
"What′s The Story Mr. Blue?"
