Uncle Bob Lyrics by Chewy

1997

(Chorus)
All the moralists agree it's undesirable
To feel you're undesired
I'm getting tired of all of this
The alternative, it seems is for me to fly away
And build a rocket ship
And try to keep my sanity
(Verse)
But look at Uncle Bob
He's thirty-eight
And man, he still lives at home
He's got a bicycle, a paper route
And hair like Art Garfunkel
He watches Fraggle Rock and Romper Room
Until his eyes begin to bleed
But he's my hero 'cause I tip my hat
To all abnormality
(Chorus)
All the moralists agree it's undesirable
To feel you're undesired
I'm getting tired of all of this
The alternative, it seems is for me to fly away
And build a rocket ship
And try to keep my sanity
Uncle Bob used to say he'd like to run for president
But ever since the assassination of Kennedy
He's been a little hesitant
They say, Bobby, what's the matter?
What's gone wrong?
Why are you still here?
But Uncle Bob's just plain old happy
With his tortilla chips and cold filtered beer
(Chorus)
All the moralists agree it's undesirable
To feel you're undesired
I'm getting tired of all of this
The alternative, it seems is for me to fly away
And build a rocket ship
And try to keep my sanity
(Bridge)
One day, Uncle Bob decided he wasn't happy
With his Boo Radley lifestyle
So he took his life with a butter knife one morning
At his dad's kitchen table
And nobody really knows
That Uncle Bob was my hero
Uncle Bob, you should've built yourself a rocket ship
(Chorus)
All the moralists agree it's undesirable
To feel you're undesired
I'm getting tired of all of this
The alternative, it seems is for me to fly away
And build a rocket ship
And try to keep my sanity
(Outro)
Could you pass the remote?
It's almost time for Fraggle Rock
Uncle Bob
You should have built yourself a rocket ship
