Bobby's alright Bobby's alright

Bobby's alright Bobby's alright
He's a natural born poet, he's just outta sight
Golden or Slim Golden or Slim
I know's where you've been
Purple Pants Pete Purple Pants Pete
Your lipstick's like lightning
Goes crunch in the heat
Golden Nose Slim Golden Nose Slim
I know's where you've been
Purple Pie Pete Purple Pie Pete
Your lips are like lightning
Girls melt in the heat
Neon funk but I don't care
I ain't no square with the shorts I wear
Me I funk but I don't care
I ain't no square with my corkscrew hair
Telegram Sam, you're my maimed man.
Telegram Sam, you're my main man.
You're living and liking your lunch in the heat
Your lips are like lightning,
Girls melt in the heat
You're my mailman
You're my main man
Your mama ain't mad.
You're my main man.
Your marmalade man
You're my main man.
