Work That Guitar
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Bobby told me, bobby told me...
You gotta work that guitar, yeah yeah yeah.
Bobby told me, bobby told me...
You gotta work that guitar, you'll shine like a star.
Someone got in a fight like any other night,
Rock, roll, and alcohol.
Met a celebrity, he said five words to me,
I guess that says it all.
So simple, so clever, remember forever,
It's not hard to understand.
This singer and dancer told me that the answer,
Was in the palm of my hand.
Bobby told me, bobby told me...
You gotta work that guitar, yeah yeah yeah.
Bobby told me, bobby told me...
You gotta work that guitar, you'll shine like a star.
The wisdom of that line, some say it was a sign,
A cosmic pass to me.
I call it balderdash, inebriated trash,
With no apology.
Too long on the barstool, yeah yeah yeah, know it ain't cool,
Ego trips is not his thing.
Then yelled with emphasis, "Yo! Teddy kick it like this!"
Everybody started to sing.
Bobby told me, bobby told me...
You gotta work that guitar, yeah yeah yeah.
Bobby told me, bobby told me...
You gotta work that guitar, you'll shine like a star.
Someone got in a fight like any other night,
Rock, roll, and alcohol.
Met a celebrity, he said five words to me,
I guess that says it all. Yeah!
Bobby told me, bobby told me...
You gotta work that guitar, yeah yeah yeah.
Bobby told me, bobby told me...
You gotta work that guitar, you'll shine like a star.
Work that guitar, shine like a star.
