They Gave A Nobel to Bob Dylan

Look, I might not like Uncle Bob much
But I'm sure he's a pretty spiffy dude
Now that he's won a nobel prize for literature
Will it really change his attitude?

Something about this whole deal irks my teeth
I mean, he's a musician first, isn't he?
He should be awarded by music academies
Isn't that the way it should be?

What's he gonna do with the nobel?
Add it to his shelf of Grammies?
Will he write songs of protest and lost love?
While he's sitting in his jammies?

Just another feather in uncle bob's hat
A hat that looks like a peacock's ass
What the fuck was The nobel committed thinkin?
Shoving feathers in his hat won't make uncle bob a chicken.
