When peo ple ask of me
what would you like to be,
now that you’re (Em)not a kid an y more?
I know just what to say,
I an swer right a way.
There’s just one (Em)thing I’ve been wish ing for.
(CN.C.)I wan na be
Bob by’s girl, I wan na be
Bob by’s girl.
(F)That’s the most
im por tant thing (Dm7)to (G7)me.
(CN.C.)And if I was
Bob by’s girl;
if I was
Bob by’s girl,
(G7)what a faith ful, thank ful girl I’d (C)be.
Each night I sit at home
hop ing that he will phone,
but I know (Em)Bob by has some one else.
Still in my heart I pray,
there soon will come a day
when I will (Em)have him all to my self.
(CN.C.)I wan na be
Bob by’s girl, I wan na be
Bob by’s girl.
(F)That’s the most im por tant thing (Dm7)to (G7)me.
(CN.C.)And if I was
Bob by’s girl;
if I was
Bob by’s girl,
(G7)what a faith ful, thank ful girl I’d (C)be.
