(Billy, if I went, ah)

(Ah, Billy, if I went, ah)

(Ah, Billy, if I went, ah) Billy says he's got a stiff rate in the nick of time

He washes off his robes in preparation to be crucified (Ah)

(Billy, if I went, ah) Billy recounts all the time he spent on counting change

The changes that he never made will make him wish he stayed and prayed (Ah)

(Billy, if I went, ah) Billy walks across the pond at half past eight, he says

He walks into the yard and tells them everyone is nearing dead (Ah)

(Billy, if I went, ah) Billy has a little nickname for his paradise

He folds it up and sets it on the mantlepiece to look real nice (Ah)

(Billy, if I went, ah) Billy washes off his robes and he will say that

Everyone is in, everyone's out, the afternoon is turning grim (Ah)

(Billy, if I went, ah) Billy believes in a room that's growing thin and thin

He'll shut the door and think about the silly little state he's in (Ah)
