about
"Bob" is based on a superhero story written by a ten year old
lyrics
Once upon a time
In a far away land
Bob was living a tough life
Went down the street
To his favorite haunt
Ordered his favorite cabbage
Suddenly Bob felt very strange
Bones turned to metal and
His brain was ravaged
His elbow was a gear
And his knee became a hinge
But only on the left side
Bob was a man,
Half man, half cyborg
He sent everyone in the city
To the city morgue
Bob was a ruthless villain
With a hunger deep inside
He ate everyone in the city
Couldn't stop him if they tried
On the last warm day of summer
He went downtown to rob a bank
But the hero Van Stwinkle appeared
And he stopped the armored tank
(Only on the left side)
Bob was a man,
Half man, half cyborg
He sent everyone in the city
To the city morgue
Bob was a cyborg,
Half cyborg, half man
Once metal took over his body
He hatched his evil plans
"Crime will not be afoot or a leg!"
Van Stwinkle said with a flair
"You can't put a stop to my leg.
I've neither foot nor leg down there!"
Van Stwinkle cried out, "I'll catch you, Bob!"
But Bob said, "Come and try."
Van Stwinkle knew what he had to do,
And Bob got… a hug
Bob was a man,
Half man, half cyborg
He sent everyone in the city
To the city morgue
Bob was a cyborg,
Half cyborg, half man
Once metal took over his body
He hatched his evil plans
Violence isn't the answer
Sometimes we need a hug
So Bob teamed up with Van Stwinkle
And now they're super friends
Bob was a man,
Half man, half cyborg
He sent everyone in the city
To the city morgue
Bob the cyborg man,
No legs, just torso
Sometimes you just need a friend,
Maybe more,
So he got a hug
So he got a hug
So he got a hug
