bobby darin – bob white lyrics
bobby:
just listen to the bob white
he never could sing right.
johnny:
you should hip him to the latest sound
and the talk that’s goin’ ‘round.
bobby:
well, i was talkin’ to the parakeet
and he said, “man, now about that beat?”
johnny: how about that beat?
bobby:
hey, … bob white
ain’t ya gonna swing tonight?
johnny:
several people heard the albatross …
bobby:
yes.
johnny:
whisper robert is on the sauce …
bobby:
i know for a fact he’s on the wagon.
johnny:
bob white
nothing but a neophyte.
bobby:
john, what does that word mean?
johnny:
amateur!
bobby:
even the pheasant
found it unpleasant
hearin’ you hit that flat note.
johnny:
whereas the sparrow
froze to his marrow
when he heard that note.
bobby:
the opinion of the tufted grouse
is you’ll play to an empty house.
johnny:
could happen to anybody!
bobby:
sure could.
both:
get up … off that pad
shape up … make it, dad
bob white
you gotta sing it out tonight.
johnny:
take a letter to the meadow lark
in reply to his rude remark …
bobby:
well, the mails must go through.
johnny:
bob white
invites you to a bash tonight.
bobby:
my tux isn’t even pressed!
take a wire to the nightingale
tell him bob ain’t begun to wail
bob white’s
gonna put him down for spite.
johnny:
circulate the word!
call up the catbird
tell that old fat bird
he’s gonna sing a storm up.
bobby:
hip the canary
it’ll be scary
after the warm up.
johnny:
man, he’s even gonna gas the goose
he’ll be looser than dr. seuss …
bobby:
wait a minute, john, do i detect a note of meaning that he’s gonna be right in tune?
johnny:
man, i’m tellin’ ya … he’s gonna be … on the moon!
bobby:
i see.
both:
bob white
he’s gonna ball it up tonight.
johnny:
oh, he’s in there.
bobby:
ah, he whistles pretty.
johnny:
yeah, like a bird!
bobby:
what?!
johnny:
hear the wire from the albatross …
bobby:
sounds urgent!
johnny:
it reads robert is still the boss …
bobby:
well, thank you very much, folks.
johnny:
bob white
he was in the grove tonight.
bobby:
i quote directly from the whoopin’ crane
he says, “man it was like insane.”
johnny:
he made it plain …
bobby:
bob white
reelin’ for a groovy fight
i thought i had him dead in the third round.
johnny:
hey, old papa redbird
who is the head bird
says you were in there swingin’
bobby:
he was tryin’.
even a jackdaw
flew out the back door
buckin’ and wingin’.
johnny:
you instigated such a swingin’ gig
that all them quadrupeds wanna dig.
bobby:
here, here, … you mean …
johnny:
here come the moose and elk!
bobby:
there goes lawrence welk!
both:
bob white! bob white! bob white!
you really sang it out tonight!
bobby:
ah, it’s for the birds.
