Lyrics
I used to dream that I would discover
The perfect lover someday
I knew I'd recognize him
If ever he came 'round my way
I always used to fancy then
He'd be one the god-like kind of men
With a giant brain and a noble hand
Like the heroes bold in the books I've read
But along came Bill
An ordinary guy
He hasn't got a thing
That I can brag about
And yet to be
Upon his knee
So comfy and roomy
Feels natural to me
Oh, I, I can't explain
It's surely not his brain
That makes me thrill
I love him
Because he's... I don't know
Because he's just my Bill
