24/7

I'd like to meet the wandering jew who keeps his hands in his pockets for later

He's always been there controlling the scene but in his new suit he looks like a waiter

He's of the retiring kind but with a schedule that's fuller than Kissinger

He's grown a moustache since his wife went away but I have to say I don't think he's missing her

24/7 it's got to be the greatest job

24/7 just being Bob

He started out when I was at school when the teachers weren't cruel they were vicious

He strummed that guitar like he meant it and the women he knew were capricious

I couldn't wait to discover an E and then follow it with an A minor

Even the Beatles took note at the words that he wrote like a spider

24/7 it's got to be the greatest job

24/7 just being Bob

Meanwhile I got stuck in verse three when the black blood flowed down the metal

I left it around for about a thousand hours and then sure enough I started to meddle

So if you're listening please I'm down on my knees in the candles

I'm not stuck in Memphis at all but I sure heard the call and the scandal

24/7 it's got to be the greatest job

24/7 just being Bob

So Bob don't get me wrong I'm a fan but I can stay cool

I know what it's like to be put on the spot when your collar gets hot that's the rule

I understand why you constantly play because playing is work and it's fun

I hope you continue to grow because it's sure hard to stop once begun

24/7 it's got to be the greatest job

24/7 just being Bob
