LAKE STREET DIVE
"Bobby Tanqueray"
(Mike Calabrese)

I met him once way after midnight
He lit a smoke and I just stared
He seemed to me like such a sore sight
Bobby Tanqueray with his gorgeous face and hair

I never see him on the weekends
He rides the highways lined in bars
His search for fame and fortunes begins
Bobby Tanqueray he will not dismay thus far

Now I know he can be so
He plays his shows and away he goes

I still can't help but think he's out there
And he could use someone like me
And I would tell him but he won't care
Bobby Tanqueray can afford to wait and see

Now I know I can be so
He drinks his so for glimmering and go

I know one day he will be ready
He'll never take his hand from mine
We'll walk the land of milk and honey
Bobby Tanqueray
Bobby Tanqueray
Bobby Tanqueray
And I will satisfy
