Bob the Kelpie Lyrics by Don Spencer

Australia for Kids

1989

[Intro]
Baa
Come on, Bob
[Chorus]
Sheep are cute, sheep are beaut', sheep are soft and curly
But when I take 'em into town, I have to start off early
'Cause they never go the way I want, so I need someone to help me
I just give a whistle and I call for Bob the Kelpie
[Interlude]
Come on, Bob, come on
[Verse 1]
Bob the Kelpie, he's my dog, and though he's not too pretty
He's worth more than all those fancy dogs up in the city
He works hard in the yard to show the sheep who's boss
I guess they've learned by now it doesn't pay to make Bob cross
[Chorus]
Sheep are cute, sheep are beaut', sheep are soft and curly
But when I take 'em into town, I have to start off early
'Cause they never go the way I want, so I need someone to help me
I just give a whistle and I call for Bob the Kelpie
[Interlude]
Come on, Bob, come on, Bob
[Chorus]
Sheep are cute, sheep are beaut', sheep are soft and curly
But when I take 'em into town, I have to start off early
'Cause they never go the way I want, so I need someone to help me
I just give a whistle and I call for Bob the Kelpie
[Interlude]
Come on, Bob
[Verse 2]
Bob the Kelpie, he's my mate, he never lets me down
He loves to ride in the back of the ute when we go into town
And we never have to lock it up with Bob there for protection
'Cause he will bark at anything that comes in his direction
[Chorus]
Sheep are cute, sheep are beaut', sheep are soft and curly
But when I take them into town, I have to start off early
'Cause they never go the way I want, so I need someone to help me
I just give a whistle and I call for Bob the Kelpie, yes
Sheep are cute, sheep are beaut', sheep are soft and curly
But when I take 'em into town, I have to start off early
'Cause they never go the way I want, so I need someone to help me
I just give a whistle and I call for Bob the Kelpie
[Outro]
Yes, I just give a whistle, come on, Bob
Come on, boy
Good boy, Bob, that's a good boy
I just give a whistle and I call for Bob the Kelpie
Good boy, Bobby
