24-7 Lyrics

24-7 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

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
