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
