A somewhat more serious counterpoint to the 1986 EBTG song “Draining The Bar” – in which the singer also expresses a level of contempt for a certain type of self-centred male ‘creative’.
[Chorus]
Go to sleep Bobby D, here's a kiss
Don't worry your pretty head about this
[Verse 1]
Me and Bobby D don't get along that easily
You told the world, "Be free, love life"
Tell me, is it true you beat your wife?
You see, me and Bobby D don't get along that easily
You told the world, "Skip rules have fun"
Knocked her from here to kingdom come?
How many girls have you had today?
And how many bottles have you downed today?
While you're on the skids, who's minding the kids?
[Chorus]
Go to sleep Bobby D, here's a kiss
Don't worry your pretty head about this
Go to sleep Bobby D, here's a kiss
Don't worry your pretty head about this
[Verse 2]
Me and Saint Jack K never had too much to say
It's easy driving with your feet
With some good ol' girl in the passenger seat
Watching the road all day
"Oh honey, what funny things you do say"
But while you're out of your head
Who's making the bed?
[Chorus]
Go to sleep Bobby D, here's a kiss
Don't worry your pretty head about this
Go to sleep Saint Jack K
Don't worry your tiny head today
[Verse 3]
Me and old Bobby D don't get along that famously
A saviour and a seer? Maybe
But he never meant that much to me
Sure, I'd love a wild life
But every wild man needs a mother or wife
The seven seas you roam and who's waiting
The seven seas you roam and who's waiting
The seven seas you roam and who's waiting at home?
[Chorus]
Go to sleep Bobby D, here's a kiss
Don't worry your pretty head about this
Go to sleep Saint Jack K
Don't worry your tiny head today
Go to sleep Bobby D, here's a kiss
Don't worry your pretty head about this
Go to sleep Saint Jack K
Don't worry your tiny head today
[Outro]
Go to sleep Bobby D, here's a kiss
Don't worry your pretty head about this
