Billy-A-Dick

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 Japenese 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 Japenese 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
