Every line in Weird Al Yankovic's "Bob" is a palindrome, just like the song's title. They read the same backwards and forwards.

Here's the lyrics of the first verse:

I, man, am Regal, a German am I
Never odd or even
If I had a Hi-Fi
Madam, I'm Adam
Too hot to hoot
No lemons, no melon
Too bad I hid a boot
Lisa Bonet ate no basil
Warsaw was raw
Was it a car or a cat I saw?
