The Bob Song (Album Version)
Lyricist:Kenny Alphin
So I was hanging out in a very deserted place Where there's white, white, white sand And blue, blue, blue, aqua blue waters That meets the horizon in a fine line
Of the most shiny purple you ever seen in your life And then right there across that great horizon Saw sails, sails from a ship, from a ship That stood a man that had sailed around the world a time or two I guess you could say, he was a pirate
Well, I once knew a pirate named bob B O B, Bob was a drunken old slob B O B, Bob, 'bout as dumb as a rock But Bob, he made it to the top
He said, 'You swing from your tree and I'll swing from mine' You have your lemons and I'll have my lime Funny, we all act like monkeys, sometimes So you swing from your tree and I'll swing from mine' I'll swing from mine
And he said, 'I'd rather make love than war And I'd rather have millions than to ever be poor But I'd rather be happy than to have anymore Guess, I'm a little tangled in a vine'
Oh, you swing from your tree and I'll swing from mine You have your lemons and I'll have my lime Funny, we all act like monkeys sometimes So you swing from your tree and I'll swing from mine
Man, let me tell ya about one of the crazy things That just happened here in the past week We got to go and do this photo shoot for a magazine I think they were called blender and they gave us $900
And they said, 'Well, y'all go do anything you want to with it' So let me tell you what a couple of pirates would do If they had $900, well, they'd go into a costume shop And they'd find themselves a couple of costumes Maybe, animals, maybe something that looked like a chicken
A chicken? A chicken, John, I like chicken John, you were a chicken, I think, I love cats And then one of them would put some fruit on his head Look a little bit like Carmen Miranda Is that like the girl in the Chiquita banana thing? And then what they would do
Dude, the Chiquita banana girl is stacked I always thought she was hot, anytime Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com I was like, in elementary school and they gave us the bananas I would always pick the one that had the sticker still on it
But then again you liked to look at the panty Section of the sears and roebuck magazine Who didn't? 'Cause you're a freak, who didn't?
Bona fide, bona fide freak, you know What my grandmother used to tell me She would do that involved the sears And roebuck magazine and freaks, Well, chickens that is when she was grew up
She was born in 1905, her name was Cathleen We called her gaggy, more affectionately She was known to her grandchildren And she told us that when she was a kid They used the sears and roebuck magazine for toilet paper
Oh my, in the outhouse and they had a stick In the out house to beat the chickens
Oh, but anyway, I guess, that's the way things used to be And things ain't quite like the way they used to be anymore And anyway, we're standin' there dressed like a chicken And Carmen Miranda, and we're holding the horn of a white rhinosarus
A white rhinosarus, white rhinosarus at the San Antonio Zoo Which we must tell you is a very, very nice zoo And now that you know a little bit about what we've done In the past week, we can tell you
Let's rock it baby, come on We can tell you, we can say You swing from your tree We can say
I'll swing from my tree oh, you swing from your tree We'll all be happy sometimes and I'll swing from my tree You swing from your tree and I'll swing from my tree And we'll all be happy sometimes
Come on, you swing from your tree and I'll swing from my tree And we'll all be happy sometimes
Oh, you swing from your tree and I'll swing from mine You have your lemons and I'll have my lime It's funny, we all act like monkeys sometimes So you swing from your tree and I'll swing from mine I'll swing from mine, I'll swing from mine
I was just trying to think of the sound that a monkey would make
