I’ve got a present for Bo-ob
An old fashioned present for Bo-ob
I don’t have a reason
It isn’t the season
For giving a present for Bob
It isn’t a present for jack
It couldn’t be given to Jim
A lifetime of pleasure 
With something he’ll treasure
All wrapped up in lace just for Jim


It’s not a car that he can drive through town
It’s not a plane that he can fly up and down
It’s not a boat that he would like to steer
It’s something I know he’d like to have near


I’ve got a present for Bo-ob
And soon I’ll present it to Bo-ob
Our days‘ll be sunny
He’ll say “Thank you Honey”
The present for Robert is…….


Not a car that he can drive through town
Not a plane that he can fly up and down
Not a boat that he would like to steer
It’s something I know he’d like to have near


I’ve got a present for Bo-ob
And soon I’ll present it to Bo-ob
My day’s’ll be sunny
He’ll say “Thank you Honey” 
And he’ll be so happy to see
That the present for Robert is Me.
