"Fabulous People" lyrics

Billy grew up in the middle of everywhere
He never had a say
Billy wondered every weekend what he was doing there
Everything was grey

Then he looked at the rainbow flying on the shopping mall
On the shopping mall
How could anyone say no? Billy had to have it all
And he said

"Can I be one of the fabulous people?
Always fun and never scared?
I tried being myself, but no one cared"

Soon Billy was like a kid in a makeup store
He had to get away
Especially because "Sodom-on-Sea" was the place he headed for
Happy, glad, and gay

And he looked at the rainbow flying on the City Hall
On the City Hall
How could anyone say no? Billy had to have it all
And he said

"Can I be one of the fabulous people?
Always fun and never scared?
I tried being myself, but no one cared"

One night, Billy went in a place where there were no girls
O happy day
A genie appeared, whispered in his ear, "You wanna give it a whirl?"
Billy ran away

But he looked at the rainbow hanging by the mirror ball
By the mirror ball
How could anyone say no? Billy had to have it all
And he said

"Can I be one of the fabulous people?
Always fun and never scared?
I tried being myself, but no one cared"
