The Bob Song Lyrics

"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 war.
I'd 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 lime
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 mine
We'll all be happy sometime

You swing from your tree
And I'll swing from mine
We'll all be happy sometime

You swing from your tree
And I'll swing from mine
You'll 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

the phrase Guess I'm A little tangled in a vine is a direct reference to Bob Dylan and his song Tangled up in blue... it's evident through the song that he's talking about him
