Lyrics
Billy came to us the first born son
Already had four sisters, brothers he had none
Born crafty and pretty from the get
No chance of playin' ball after Daddy split
Hand-me-down toys and hand-me-down clothes
Long, slender legs, little up turned nose
So pick up you dolls and head outside
When playin' in the yard, the neighbors cried
Go on Billy
CHORUS
Just Like Billy does
Keep on Billy
Lovin' like Billy does
Just keep on Billy, yeah
Doin' like Billy does
Just keep on Billy, Oh my dear
Keep on, keep on, keep on...
Hair styled clean, bleach blonde bob
Time to move out of town and get a boob-job
Landed in the Village, then onto L.A.
First photo shoot, his big day
Transgendered front fender, hair messed about
This is Billy's way of comin' out
So he took of his clothes and gave a smile
And the people back home knew it all the while
Go on Billy
CHORUS
Just Like Billy does
Love on Billy
Lovin' like Billy does
Just keep on Billy, yeah
Doin' like Billy does
Just keep on Billy, Oh my dear
Saunter in the club for a couple of beers
Young fly young phillies, candied-up queers
Un-bound with ability, he's lookin' so good
He's the prettiest boy in the neighborhood
He's a coverboy, a star, he's on gaydar
He's the finest, new addition to the coalition
So get your pink-card and show your pride
When marchin' down the street, the neighbors sighed
Good God Billy
CHORUS
Just Like Billy does
Love on Billy
Lovin' like Billy does
Just keep on Billy, yeah
Doin' like Billy does
Just keep on Billy, Oh my dear
