My Friend Robert

Our friend Robert
a country boy at heart
you can tell with his twang
he can be such a flirt

My friend Robert
a charming chap indeed
although sometimes
he can be quite curt

Your friend Robert
the outgoing party king
best one to see you safe
cos he always remains alert

We all love Robert
big delicious smile
and infectious laugh
in his pink, black and white shirt

He who loves Robert
will forever remain
written within his heart
or let him eat dirt

The world will love Robert
for he will be forever young
when he pulls his finger out
which he will probably re-insert
