Lyrics:
You walk into the room with your pencil in your hand
You see somebody naked and you say, "Who is that man?"
You try so hard but you don't understand
Just what you will say when you get home
Because something is happening here but you don't know what it is
Do you, Mr. Jones?
You raise up your head and you ask, "Is this where it is?"
And somebody points to you and says, "It's his"
And you say, "What's mine?" and somebody else says, "Well, what is?"
And you say, "Oh my God, am I here all alone?"
But something is happening and you don't know what it is
Do you, Mr. Jones?
You hand in your ticket and you go watch the geek
Who immediately walks up to you when he hears you speak
And says, "How does it feel to be such a freak?"
And you say, "Impossible!" as he hands you a bone
And something is happening here but you don't know what it is
Do you, Mr. Jones?
You have many contacts among the lumberjacks
To get you facts when someone attacks your imagination
But nobody has any respect, anyway they already expect you to all give a check
To tax-deductible charity organizations
Ah, you've been with the professors and they've all liked your looks
With great lawyers you have discussed lepers and crooks
You've been through all of F. Scott Fitzgerald's books
You're very well-read, it's well-known
But something is happening here and you don't know what it is
Do you, Mr. Jones?
Well, the sword swallower, he comes up to you and then he kneels
He crosses himself and then he clicks his high heels
And without further notice, he asks you how it feels
And he says, "Here is your throat back, thanks for the loan"
And you know something is happening but you don't know what it is
Do you, Mr. Jones?
Now, you see this one-eyed midget shouting the word "Now"
And you say, "For what reason?" and he says, "How"
And you say, "What does this mean?" and he screams back, "You're a cow!
Give me some milk or else go home"
And you know something's happening but you don't know what it is
Do you, Mr. Jones?
Well, you walk into the room like a camel, and then you frown
You put your eyes in your pocket and your nose on the ground
There ought to be a law against you comin' around
You should be made to wear earphones
'Cause something is happening and you don't know what it is
Do you, Mr. Jones?

You’d have to be Bob Dylan to have the words describe how great Bob Dylan is
-
The sheer amount of contempt in his voice and that little chuckle, tells you all you need to know about his thoughts on the media. What a masterpiece
-
I saw Bob Dylan perform this live at Cleveland Music Hall on Friday November 12, 1965.I was 14 years old! It was the single most moving musical performance I have ever witnessed!
-
Cryptic lyrics - a haunting melody - a lilting blues rythym - a vocal dissertation that only Bob could give ... a classic that never gets old.
-
Dylan was able to do with words what Hendrix did with a guitar .....best lyricist ever,no one else even comes close
-
An album that includes this, "Highway 61," and "Desolation Row" has a valid claim to greatness.
-
Only Bob Dylan can chuckle at his own lyrics about seeing someone naked as hes singing and still have the bit make the final cut.
-
That laugh at “you try so hard” is fantastic
-
I adore this man's writing abilities. No wonder he's the voice of a generation. Brilliant.
-
"Feel so suicidal just like Dylan's Mr. Jones."
-
I saw Bob Dylan perform this live: greatest moment of my life
-
Never gets old. Finding this song more and more relevant now in my life in 2023. "Somethings happening and I don't know what it is..."
-
Always loved the little giggle.
-
A surreal nightmare masterpiece.
-
RIP Yoda, you were a good egg in our hearts
-
wow the studio version is back. yay!
-
Bob Dylan, as far as I'm concerned, is one of the last true poets.
-
The organ flies through this thing like a screeching ghost.
-
One of the greatest albums of all time! A real game changer.
-
One of the greatest songs ever written. I just love it. It describes so accurately the feelings we had back in the 60s. Everything was strange and new and brilliant. Music was everywhere, all with different sounds and lyrics. Dylan was right in the middle of it. There are so many good songs on his albums. If you aren't familiar with him you should listen to some of his stuff.
