[Verse 1]
I met him once way after midnight–
He lit a smoke, and I just stared
He seemed to me like such a sore sight:
Bobby Tanqueray, with his gorgeous face and hair
[Verse 2]
I never see him on the weekends
He rides the highways lined in bars
His search for fame and fortune bleakens
Bobby Tanqueray, he will not dismay thus far
(Ooh)
[Hook]
Oh no, I know it can't be so (shalala, ooh la la)
He plays his shows (shalala, ooh la la)
And away he goes (ooh)
[Verse 3]
I still can't help but think he's out there
And he could use someone like me
And I would tell him, but he won't care
Bobby Tanqueray can afford to wait and see
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
[Hook]
Oh no, I know I can't please so
His dreams, his soul
Both glimmering and gold
[Verse 4]
I know one day he will be ready
He'll never take his hand from mine
Oh, I know we'll walk the land of milk and honey
Bobby Tanqueray
Bobby Tanqueray
Bobby Tanqueray
He and I both satisfied (shalala, ooh la la)
Oh (shalala, ooh la la)
Oh
