Lyrics

[00:12.87] I met him once way after midnight–
[00:18.77] He lit a smoke, and I just stared
[00:24.71] He seemed to me like such a sore sight:
[00:29.79] Bobby Tanqueray, with his gorgeous face and hair
[00:48.25] I never see him on the weekends
[00:54.07] He rides the highways lined in bars
[00:59.99] His search for fame and fortune bleakens
[01:05.19] Bobby Tanqueray, he will not dismay thus far
[01:14.77] (Ooh)
[01:16.41] Oh no, I know it can't be so (shalala, ooh la la)
[01:21.85] He plays his shows (shalala, ooh la la)
[01:25.64] And away he goes (ooh)
[01:29.93] I still can't help but think he's out there
[01:35.57] And he could use someone like me
[01:41.57] And I would tell him, but he won't care
[01:46.96] Bobby Tanqueray can afford to wait and see
[01:56.64] (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
[02:18.79] Oh no, I know I can't please so
[02:24.95] His dreams, his soul
[02:27.93] Both glimmering and gold
[02:32.15] I know one day he will be ready
[02:37.78] He'll never take his hand from mine
[02:43.45] Oh, I know we'll walk the land of milk and honey
[02:49.09] Bobby Tanqueray
[02:55.15] Bobby Tanqueray
[03:00.91] Bobby Tanqueray
[03:06.33] He and I both satisfied (shalala, ooh la la)
[03:12.28] Oh (shalala, ooh la la)
[03:16.50] Oh
