When Bobby Comes Down
I don’t want to be round, when bobby comes down, you know
how that can be, yeah you know better than me.
I don’t want to be here, when bobby gets clear & he gives you
that weird eye, I think I’d better say goodbye.
Yeah the party always starts out pretty cool,
then Bobby’s got to find himself a fool.
Fun to hang here when he’s high, couldn’t find a nicer guy,
he would give you his own shirt, he starts to crash & you get hurt.
So it was me, Bobby, little Chooch & Tim, Chooch is alright you
can always count on him. Bobby can be cool, if he’s hanging out
here, if he gets too high & goes out, that’s when things get weird.
So we’re going to the Toddle House to get something to eat, the
food’s pretty good @ 3:00 a.m., but this time it was beat &
we’re sittin at the boothe & to tell you the truth, Bobby’s throwin
shit around, he’s acting real uncouth.
And I figure it’s only moments till the manager calls the cops
when Bobby gets all quiet and down in his eggs he drops,
he passes out at the table wakes up and heaves, and there’s
vomit all over the counter and he pays the check and leaves.
And he’s almost to the corner when out comes the waiter, Bobby
says, “Get the fuck off me, man, I wasn’t sick until I ate here.”
Bobby smacks the waiter, blood all down his nose, Chooch says,
“Hang with Bobby man, it’s just the way it goes.” Well Bobby
feels bad from what I can guess cause the next day he sends a
mop to the Toddle House, UPS, and he lights a big fat one and
he stretches his legs, he says, “Oh man, I gotta learn not to put
that chili on my eggs.”
Yeah the party always starts out really cool then Bobby’s got to
find himself a fool well i guess you got the stay ‘cause Bobby
likes his girls that way, and I hope you’ll be alright and I’ll be
back tomorrow night.
I don’t want to be round, when bobby comes down I don’t
want to be round.
