The Bob Song

Willie Nelson · Moment Of Forever [1994]

I once knew a pirate named Bob

B O B, Bob was a drunken old slob

But Bob made it to the top

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 limes"

"Funny, we all act like monkeys sometimes

You swing from your tree

And I'll swing from mine"

He said, "I'd rather make love

Than have a war

I rather make millions

Than to ever be poor"

"I'd rather be happy

Than to have anymore

Guess I'm a little tangled in a vine"

You swing from your tree

And I'll swing from mine

You have your lemons

And I'll have my limes

Funny, we all act like monkeys sometimes

You swing from your tree

And I'll swing from mine

I'll swing from mine

Now, you swing from your tree

And I'll swing from my tree

And we'll all be happy sometimes

You swing from your tree

And I'll swing from my tree

We'll all be happy sometimes

You swing from your tree

And I'll swing from mine

You have your lemons

And I'll have my limes

Funny, we all act like monkeys sometimes

You swing from your tree

And I'll swing from mine

You have your whiskey

And I'll drink my wine

You save your dollar

And I'll spend my dime

You swing from your tree

And I'll swing from mine

We'll all be happy sometimes

And we'll all be happy sometimes
