Bobby was a friend of mine,
you know he lived over on the next block
An d Bobby was a real cool guy,
we used to hang around a lot
Well, we hung out down in the basement
and he played a lot of cool guitar
to some place up in Connecticut
We got in the car and we drove up there
he really gave us a scare
They say, Bobby your dreams
I think about Bobby now and again
You know I wish that he was still my friend
I betcha he woulda gone real far
But they caught him off his guard
And Bobby was a real smart guy
Just saw this world through
They pumped him full of Thorazines
An d Bobby just wasn't that strong,
oh no he couldn't hold on
And then one day you know
Bobby was a friend of mine,
you know he lived over on the next block
And Bobby was a real cool guy,
we used to hang around a lot
Well, we hung out down in the basement
and he played a lot of cool guitar
An d then one day, you know,
I hope you're alright, Bobby
I hope you're alright now
I hope you're alright, Bobby
I hope you're alright now
