Bob Hope by The Leaving Trains

This is a song by one of my favorite bands. Sorry about another "bob hope" thread.


BOB HOPE (music by Falling James/lyrics by Chris "Whitey" Sims, spoken word lyrics by Falling)

There he goes with his Roman nose -- Bob Hope
There he goes, he's solid gold -- Bob Hope
Look out, Ho Chi Minh, here he comes
with a bunch of bad jokes and his stupid grin
Ronny's friend, Johnny's friend, Tricky Dick's friend
and Eisenhower's friend

Wanna laugh at the apocalypse, talk to Bob Hope
Wanna sit over a beer and cigarettes, with Bob Hope
Get a bullet and your head for your heart, with Bob Hope
He's going to drag you down laughing in the end, Bob Hope

Here he is, out in Vietnam
Crawl back to Korea, there he was
World War II, road to Rio
Gonna take you out and put you in the battlefield

Wanna get yourself in a cast in a minute -- Bob Hope
He's got a bunch of cast of characters with him, Bob Hope
Brings his warmonger entertainment friends, Bob Hope
Always on the road with Brooke Shields and Natalie Cole

(spoken word section)
Ha, ha. How about that army food? Ha, ha. I don't know, it's not like I don't really understand. Ha, ha. When I came here to Vietnam, I said to the generals, "Hey, I don't play to empty houses -- where are the rest of the soldiers? I don't care if they're fighting." Ha, ha. So the generals brought 'em in, and they came and they got real drunk, and they saw Ann Margret show off her legs. On the way home, I guess they got ambushed by those dirty criminals in the bushes, those communists. I slayed 'em, I slayed 'em!

He has the deed to the end of the world
He's not even American, for chrissakes! Bob Hope
Wanna get the lowdown on the end of the world, torture? Bob Hope
Wanna get the joke? Go ahead, it's Bob Hope
ha, ha
