Bob

(Jack Clement - Vincent Matthews)



Thanks for the bed and board Bob,

Enjoyed my stay

But I got just a little bit bored Bob

Be on my way.



So you got yourself a job Bob

That's not for me

You got a house and a wife Bob

But I'm still free.



Remember the good ole days around the Frisco yard Bob

For you they're gone

Now your wife's lookin' at me kinda hard Bob

I'll move along.



--- Instrumental ---



So you got yourself a housewife Bob

And a housenote too

Reclining chairs and phone bills Bob

That's not for you.



I'm a headin' out LA way Bob

There ain't no spare

The freight pulls out today Bob

Do you dare?



Remember the good times down in New Orleans Bob

That Cajun Queen

And your wife's lookin' at me kinda hard Bob

She thinks I'm mean.



--- Instrumental ---



Thanks for the bed and board Bob

Enjoyed my stay

But just forget all the top Bob

'Bout the good ole days.



'Cause your wife's a little bit scared Bob

You wanna be free

But you and me both know Bob

You're better off than me.



Remember the cold nights out on Frisco yard Bob

And the hard cold ground

Now your wife's lookin' at me kinda hard Bob

See you around...
