Though I’m honored that you call me “Sir”

If you want to know the truth,

You can keep your dang respect.

Just give me back my youth.

Building highways– Politicians 

Do this job so well.

Their good intentions always seem

To pave a road to Hell.

Billy Brown

Had a friend back when I was young,

And man, we sure had us some fun.

The old neighborhood 

Wouldn’t have been half as good

If Billy had not been around.

So, this one’s for you, Billy Brown.

My buddy, my pal, Billy Brown.

We raced our bikes home after school.

We didn’t think the Beatles were cool. 

To us, Johnny Quest 

Was the absolute best.

Turn the TV up, the radio down.

Can you spend the night, Billy Brown?

My buddy, my pal, Billy Brown. 

Do you still have that big box of cars?

Did you learn how to pronounce your R’s?

Or do you still say, “Woy Wogers” today?

And do you still act like a clown?

Where are you now, Billy Brown?

My Buddy, my pal, Billy Brown. 

As for women, well, what’s all the fuss?

Girls were like lepers to us.

At least thats what we

Would say publicly, 

In secret, they made my heart pound.

And you liked ‘em too, Billy Brown.

My buddy, my pal, Billy Brown.

It was not long before Halloween,

The moving van entered the scene.

The boxes were tucked 

On the back of the truck,

And hauled to the north end of town.

Did I say goodbye, Billy Brown?

My buddy, my pal, Billy Brown. 

Do you still have that big box of cars?

Did you learn how to pronounce your R’s?

Or do you still say, “Woy Wogers” today?

And do you still act like a clown?

Where are you now, Billy Brown?

If you want to give your teenage son

A gift that’s really hot, 

I think it’s safe to say “a clue” 

Is something he ain’t got.

Do NOT lick my face!

I’ve told you time and time again.

I’ve seen that tongue in action, dog,

And I know where it’s been.

This one is for all of you 

Who heard the call of duty.

Thanks for standing guard, my friends. 

You people kick some booty.

When calling heads or tails,

There’s one thing I have found.

It’s always best to wait until

The coin is on the ground.
