The Bob Song - Big & Rich
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
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
