Lyrics

Hey Willy, your mother calls you Billy Your father calls you silly But you really are a pretty one Hey baby, you're dressing like a lady The fellows call you Sadie But you really are a pretty one You don't care What they say about your hair 'Cause the bad man's smiling Every time he sees you comin', yeah Willy is the singer in a rock 'n' roll band Every time he shows his face It's just to put away a grand, oh yeah Oh yeah Willy's gonna show them now No no no no Willy's gonna go somehow My name's Willy gonna turn on the lights Playing rock 'n' roll music to early early night Can't stop dancing to the rhythm in your feet Listen to the drummer yeah listen to the beat Oh yeah Willy's gonna show them now No no no no Willy's gonna go somehow Hey Willy, your mother calls you Billy Your daddy calls you silly But you really are a pretty one Hey baby, you're dressing like a lady The fellows call you Sadie But you really are a pretty one You don't care What they say about your hair 'Cause the bad man's smiling Every time he sees you comin', yeah Willy is the singer in a rock 'n' roll band Every time he shows his face It's just to put away a grand, oh yeah Oh yeah Willy's gonna show them now No no no no Willy's gonna go somehow
