Lyrics
Maybe you've heard this riff before?
Introduction, questioning familiarity with a musical riff.
But don't blame me they ain't my chords
Disclaimer that the chords are not the speaker's.
This is Bob's song
Identifying the song as Bob's.
Not Bob from the NOFX song
Clarification that it's not Bob from an NOFX song.
Not Mr wibblegibberwibblegibberwibble Bob Dobalina
Exclusion of other "Bob" references.
Not Fat Bob from Hardskin
Specifically mentioning it's not Fat Bob from Hardskin.
No it's, brah Bob from Durban
Introduction of "brah Bob" from Durban.
He said it was a, little bit Sunday school
Describing Bob's song as a mix of Sunday school and Dolly Parton.
And a, little bit Dolly Parton
Adding elements like ice cream and maggots.
Ice cream and maggots
Additional imagery of 5.5 and cigarettes.
5.5 and cigarettes
Bob's rebellious attitude toward the IRS.
He said fuck the IRS'
Leaving for the station, bidding farewell.
And made off for the station
Waving goodbye
Using Zulu phrase "ungiya bonga, saoul borna," possibly expressing gratitude or acknowledgment.
He said ungiya bonga, saoul borna
Highlighting the uncertainty of truth and lies.
He said do you trust me?
Repeating the theme of ambiguity.
Well that's your decision
Emphasizing the potential contradiction in the speaker's statements.
If I say I'm telling the truth
I might be a liar
Reiteration of the mix of Sunday school and Dolly Parton in Bob's song.
Say I'm a liar
Repetition of the ice cream and maggots imagery.
It might be the truth
Restating Bob's defiance against the IRS and departure.
He said it was a, little bit Sunday school
Reintroduction of the Sunday school and Dolly Parton mix.
And a, little bit Dolly Parton
Recalling the ice cream and maggots elements.
Ice cream and maggots
Reaffirmation of Bob's disregard for the IRS and departure.
5.5 and cigarettes
He said fuck the IRS'
Repeating the farewell and departure theme.
And made off for the station
Reiteration of waving goodbye to Bob.
Waving goodbye
Well we know that we'll be seeing Bob again
Emphasizing that it's not a permanent goodbye but "auf wiedersehen."
So it ain't goodbye it's auf wiedersehen
Noting the distinctive smile of Bob.
We'll easy recognise the smile, maybe not the name
Commenting on the unpredictable nature of the day with Bob.
A mad roller coaster of a weird old day
Describing the quick departure of Bob.
A matter of hours and he was on his way
Highlighting the value of freedom.
Freedom ain't going for a song
Suggesting that Bob's song is valuable but not cheap.
But a tenner might get the fat fryer on
Asking about Bob's whereabouts.
Where's Bob?
Face to the picture but the name don't fit?
-Hands off!
-This is Bob's song
Reaffirming that this is indeed Bob's song.
