Lyrics

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
Twenty four seven
It's got to be the greatest job
It's twenty four seven
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 that 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
Of the words that he wrote like a spider
Twenty four seven
It's got to be the greatest job
It's twenty four seven
Just being Bob
Meanwhile I got stuck in verse three
When the black blood flowed down the metal
I left it lying 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
Twenty four seven
It's got to be the greatest job
It's twenty four seven
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
Twenty four seven
It's got to be the greatest job
It's twenty four seven
Just being, just being, just being, just being
Just being, just being, just being Bob
