Billy-A-Dick

Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer
Every night while I'm undressin' Sayin' my prayers and lightly confessin' I can hear hot licks From a set of drums upstairs Well, it couldn't be Johnny 'cause he isn't there Johnny's overseas, we no not where But, believe it or not, every night on the dot I can hear a tenor drum say Billy-a-dick, Billy-a-dick, tick, tack When's that character comin' back? When's that kid in the G.I. lid Gonna choo-choo down the track? Poor ol' me, I'm beat as can be And my rim has even started to rust Look at these sticks tryin' to take out the licks They're covered with an inch of dust, beep-a-dust Billy-a-dick, Billy-a-dick, tick, tack When's that character comin' back? When's that boy with the jumpin' joy Gonna launch that last attack? If he'll roll, roll, roll like a drumstick Chewin', chewin', chewin' on a gumstick Jack, we'll soon have a Japanese derby And beat it like a cymbal on a music rack Billy-a-dick, Billy-a-dick, tick, tack When's that character comin' back? When's that boy with the jumpin' joy Gonna launch that last attack? If he'll roll, roll, roll like a drumstick Chewin', chewin', chewin' on a gumstick Jack, we'll soon have a Japanese derby And beat it like a cymbal on a music rack Billy-a-dick, Billy-a-dick, tick, tack Billy-a-dick, Billy-a-dick, tick, tack Billy-a-dick, Billy-a-dick, tick, tack When's that character comin' back, Mom?
