Lyrics

Bobby
Bobby
Bobby, baby
Bobby, bubbe
Robby
Robert, darling
Bobby, we've been trying to reach you (Bobby, bubbe)
Robert, darling
Bob (Rob-O) (angel, we've got something to tell you)
Robby, love (Bobby, honey)
Bob, we're having people (it's Saturday night) (Bobby, Bobby)
Whatcha doin' Thursday? (Bobby, bubbe)
Time we got together
Is Wednesday all right? (Bobby, honey) (Robby, darling)
Bobby, fella
Bobby, baby
Bobby, come on over for dinner
We'll be so glad to see you
Bobby, come on over for dinner
Just be the three of us
Only the three of us
We love you
We love you
I mean, when you've got friends like mine
We love you
I mean, when you've got friends like mine
Isn't it warm?
Isn't it rosy?
Side by side (he's such a cutie)
By side (isn't he a cutie?)
Ports in a storm
Comfy and cozy
Side by side (he never loses his cool)
By side (I envy that)
Everything shines
How sweet
Side by side, by side (we're just so fond of him!)
Parallel lines who meet
Love him
Can't get enough of him
Everyone winks
Nobody's nosy
Side by side, by side (he is just crazy about me)
(He's a very tender guy)
You make the drinks, and
I'll bring the posy
Side by side, by side (he's always there when you need him)
One is lonely and two is boring (oh)
Think what you can keep ignoring
Side (he's my best friend)
By side (what?)
By side (I mean, next to my husband) (never a father)
Seven times a godfather
Year after year, older and older
It's amazing!
We've gotten older each year
And he seems to stay exactly the same!
Sharing a tear, lending a shoulder
You know what comes to my mind every time I see him?
What?
The Seagrams building
Isn't that funny?
Ain't we got fun?
No strain
You know sometimes I catch him looking
And looking
I just look right back
Permanent sun
No rain
We're so crazy
He's so sane
Friendship forbids
Anything bitter
A person like Bob doesn't have the good things
And he doesn't have the bad things
But he doesn't have the good things
Being the kids
As well as the sitter
Let me make him a drink (yeah)
He's the one guy I know
I feel should drink more!
One's impossible, two is dreary
Three is company, safe and cheery
Side by side (he always looks like he's keeping score)
(Who's winning, Robert?)
Here is the church
Here is the steeple
Open the door
And see all the crazy married people
What would we do without you?
How would we ever get through?
Who would I complain to for hours?
Who'd bring me the flowers
When I have the flu?
Who'd finish yesterday's stew?
Who'd take the kids to the zoo?
Who is so dear
And who is so deep
And who would keep her occupied when I want to sleep?
How would we ever get through?
What would we do without you?
What would we do without you?
How would we ever get through?
Should there be a martial squabble
Available Bob'll be there with the glue
Who could we open up to?
Secrets we keep from guess who
Who is so safe
And who is so sound
You never need an analyst with Bobby around
How did we ever get through?
What would we do without you?
What would we do without you?
How would we ever get through?
Who sends anniversary wishes?
Who helps with the dishes
And never says "boo"?
Who changes subjects on cue?
Who cheers us up when we're blue?
Who is a flirt
But never a threat
Reminds us of our birthdays
Which we always forget
How would we ever get through?
What would we do without you?
What would we do without you?
How would we ever get
How would we ever get
How would we ever get
How would we ever get through?
What would we do without you?
Just what you usually do
Right!
You who sit with us
You who share with us
You who fit with us
You who bear with us
You, you, you
Okay now, everybody!
Isn't it warm?
Isn't it rosy?
Side by side
Ports in a storm
Comfy and cozy
Side by side
Everything shines
How sweet
Side by side
Parallel lines who meet
Side by side
Year after year
Older and older
Side by side
Sharing a tear and
Lending a shoulder
Side by side
Two's impossible, two is gloomy
Give another number to me
Side by side, by side, by side, by side, by side
By side, by side, by side, by side, by side, by side, by side
By side!
