Young Robert was quite lazy and did much to avoid work
Many hung around him yet most thought him a jerk
Young Robert’s looks brought him attention and fifteen minutes of fame
Young Robert had nothing of substance no other honor to claim
Young Robert would steal for profit or pocket an item for sport
Young Robert would tell great lies and even perjure himself in court
Young Robert covers his emptiness with silk linings and patches his holes with purple labels
Self proclaimed "the Great One" hero of tall tales and magnificent fables
Young Robert values old friends like the immortals value life
Young Robert cheats in business like he cheats on his wife
Young Robert’s big house is empty with nice cars in the drive
Greed is what sustains him and gluttony keeps him alive
If you dine with young Robert you’ll oft have to pay the check
In business he’s no better his work you must carefully inspect
Young Robert says there is no God in Heaven and surely not on the Earth
His pockets are swollen with borrowed money but his life has no worth
