"Billy" lyrics

"Billy"

Billy, if I went
Ahh-ah, ah-ah
Billy, if I went
Ahh-ah, ah-ah

Billy says he's got a stiffer in the nick of time (Billy, if I went ahh-ah)
He washes off his robes in preparation to be crucified (Ohh-oh) (Billy)
Billy recounts all the time he spent on counting change (Billy, if I went ahh-ah)
The changes that he never made will make him wish he stayed and prayed (Ohh-oh)

Ooh oh oh oh oh oh

Billy walks across the pond at half past eight (Billy, if I went ahh-ah)
He says he walks into the yard and tells them everyone is nearing dead (Ohh-oh)
Billy has a little nickname for his paradise (Billy, if I went ahh-ah)
He folds it up and sets it on the mantelpiece to look real nice (Ohh-oh)

Billy washes off his robes and he will say that (Billy, if I went ahh-ah)
Everyone is in everyone's out the afternoon is turning grim (Ohh-oh)
Billy believes in a room that's growing thin and thin (Billy, if I went ahh-ah)
He'll shut the door and think about the silly little state he's in (Ohh-oh)
