Over to you Bob!

lyrics

Over to you Bob!

Every night at six pm
I sit in the house with my TV on
There’s a man I watch who I admire
With o-zone hair and smart attire

I live a life of luxury
With a remote control sitting on my knee
But I wish that I was just like him
The epitome of the American dream

It’s over to you Bob! Over to you Bob!
Read us the news from your autocue

He likes to keep his image clean
But he’s Mr. Hyde when he’s off-screen
He wears the most expensive clothes
His fortune’s going up his nose

He was caught messing ‘round with a porno queen
He’s forty-two she’s just nineteen
He’ll try anything you’ve got to sell
Because he’s far too popular to go to jail

Now it’s over to you Bob! Over to you Bob!
Read us the news from your autocue

He got a wake-up call he can’t ignore
They shut the door on him at Betty Ford’s

Now his wife has left him with the kids in tow
And he lost his job from his own TV show
He’s kept his popularity
But he ain’t the man he used to be

It’s over to you Bob! Over to you Bob!
Read us the news from your autocue

"You never can be sure what kind of project Jim will come up with next, but you can always be sure it's gonna be pretty darn good." Tom Robinson BBC 6 Music.

Jim's songs range from the whimsical to some of the most bitter and somber themes, yet always with a paradoxical childlike spirit that meets them head-on – wide-eyed and full of hopeful energy.
