Abe says, Man, you must be puttin' me on.
God say, No. Abe say, What?

Well Abe says, Where do you want this killin' done?
God says, Out on Highway 61.”

When we come to the other world and meet the millions of Jews who died in the camps and they ask us, 'What have you done?' there will be many answers. You will say, 'I became a jeweler.' Another will say, 'I smuggled coffee and American cigarettes.' Still another will say, 'I built houses,' but I will say, 'I didn't forget you.”
