Bob, the Drummer
Lyricist:Joie Calio, Michael Gurley, Phil Leavitt
See I'm tryin' to start this rock band And my drummer really needed a kit He's really into Bonham and Ozzy You know he really likes to hit
So we spent our days lookin' at drum ads 'Cause neither one of us had a job We circles this one cool offer 'Cheap drums ask for Bob'
We jumped into my pinto And we flew over to his place We ran up the stairs and knocked on the door Enter Robert's face
Now ol' Bob was a drummer He lived with his kit in Glendale Weddings and bar mitzvahs He'd do any gig for half-scale
With his five-piece '69 slinger land Silver two-tone glitter He played her skins like a gentleman He didn't like to hit her
Like a mime with a megaphone Like snow comin' down in summer Like Dr. King with a submachine Like rock 'n' roll and Bob the drummer Bob the drummer
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Now he fixed us both some coffee He let me play his snare He lied about the good old days And how he ended up here
We let him go on for hours Talkin' 'bout one-night stands He said you gotta pay your dues son I said I think I understand
He didn't give a crap about the Grateful Dead Green Day or Pink Floyd But when he got down behind that set Old Bob could make some noise Bob the drummer
We wondered where the time went And did I still wanna buy some drums? My throat went dry and I felt kinda sick When I offered him two hundred ones
He said he guessed he wasn't ready to sell her You never know when there might be a gig He shot me his best Mona Lisa And took the last drag off his cig
With his Mr. Rogers sweater And his velvet Elvis eyes He stared into oblivion and said Oh how time flies
