What About The Bob?
Jaymay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What about the car
What about the pants that drove really far
What about the sun
What about the star
What about the rugs we leave on the floor
What about the cat
What about the dog
What about the lire
What about the fire
What about the shake
What about the drum
What about the keys
What about my knees
What about the son
What about the daughter
Would it be for all
What about the, what about the bicycle and the heater and the furnace
What about the stove
What about the cabinet
What about the 'roo
What about the rabbit
What about the purple paint on the wall
What about the harmonica
What about the summer that's about to fall
What about the winter that's about to spring
What about the diamond set in the ring
What about the, what about the sky
What about the guy
What about the gal
What about the body
What about the bow
What about the, what about the cement floor
What about the cement floor
What about the trap door and the girl beneath the sea
This song, "What About The Bob?" by Jaymay, is an existential exploration of life's interconnectedness and the inevitability of change. The lyrics offer a rapid-fire catalogue of everyday objects, from the moon and stars to pants and rugs. Each item seems small and inconsequential on its own, but the accumulation of these details highlights the complexity and interdependence of our world. The repetition of the question "What about...?" creates a sense of mounting urgency and anxiety, as if the singer is grappling with the immense weight of existence.
