Bob Hope was an American touchstone
A friend, familiar to us all
As American as apple pie
We loved to watch him have a ball
Through the miracle of the medium
Vaudeville, radio, movies and TV
His unique talents, his superior wit
Were loaned for a lifetime
To you and to me
Like the grandfather everyone loves
Guaranteed to make you smile
We all feel like we knew him
When we found him on the dial
Bless his memory
Bless his family and his wife
Bob Hope lived an ideal
American life
EV
