Well, if you take Hang-highway, drive to the north and follow it as far as it goes
You'll arrive in a town, called Simshole City, capital of County Drum
Drive by the church, take the road to your left and look for a fading sign
Leave your car by the lake, walk an hour and a half on the path that leads to his shack

Now, you know you're right if you hear a banjo picking away on a tune
See, that's Bob T, dweller of this forest sitting on his run-down porch
They say he's crazy - a village fool - an hermit forsaken by the world
But he's a groovy fella, so treat him right and he might play you his favourite tune
And it goes something like this

I ain't never had sex, man
Ain't seen no hairy fan
I've never been in love and no-one has ever loved me
Ain't got no friends, man
Ain't got no future planned
Just Barney, my fiddle and the forest and I Bob T

"Fiddle, eh?"
"Yup. Here, let me show you what i mean..."

Well, Bob's been here for over twenty years keeping these woods alive
With his only friends, a dog named Barney and his instruments, his musical companions
Now, Bob to me (although a freak) is the greatest of all entertainers
And I'll drive out here almost every week just to hear them fingers picking
Now let's hear it again, Bob

I ain't never had sex, man
Ain't seen no hairy fan
I've never been in love and no-one has ever loved me
Ain't got no friends, man
Ain't got no future planned
Just Barney, my harmonica and the forest and I Bob T

"Harmonica?"
"Huh? Oh yeah, let me give you an example..."

Well few years back when we had just met I was curious to ask him a question
I said: "Old friend Bob T., ain't it lonely out here? And don't you ever think about pleasure?"
He said: "Well, not really John, I'm doing fine with the music that I'm composing
And I drink all day and I drink all night and for pleasure... I always have me Barney"
Hrmf, right. Well, so he sang

I ain't never had sex, man
No normal sex, man
I've never been in love and no-one has ever loved me
Ain't got no friends, man
Ain't got no future planned
Just Barney, my bottle and the forest and I Bob T

"Bottle, huh?"
"Yup"
"How are you going to play the solo on that one?"
"I'm not!"
"Just as well then. Just take the chorus again, will you"
"Yup"

I ain't never had sex, man
Ain't seen no hairy fan
I've never been in love and no-one has ever loved me
Ain't got no friends, man
Ain't got no future planned
Just Barney, my banjo, my fiddle, my harmonica, my bottle and the forest and I Bob T
