Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Billy grew up in the middle of everywhere
He never had a say
Billy wondered every weekend what he was doing there
Everything was grey
[PreChorus]
Then he looked at the rainbow flying on the shopping mall
On the shopping mall
How could anyone say no? Billy had to have it all
And he said
[Chorus]
"Can I be one of the fabulous people?
Always fun and never scared?
I tried being myself, but no one cared"
[Verse 2]
Soon Billy was like a kid in a makeup store
He had to get away
Especially because "Sodom-on-Sea" was the place he headed for
Happy, glad, and gay
[PreChorus]
And he looked at the rainbow flying on the City Hall
On the City Hall
How could anyone say no? Billy had to have it all
And he said
[Chorus]
"Can I be one of the fabulous people?
Always fun and never scared?
I tried being myself, but no one cared"
[Verse 3]
One night, Billy went in a place where there were no girls
O happy day
A genie appeared, whispered in his ear, "You wanna give it a whirl?"
Billy ran away
[PreChorus]
But he looked at the rainbow hanging by the mirror ball
By the mirror ball
How could anyone say no? Billy had to have it all
And he said
[Chorus]
"Can I be one of the fabulous people?
Always fun and never scared?
I tried being myself, but no one cared"
