Burthen
But along came Bill
Who’s not the type at all
You’d meet him on the street and never notice him
His form and face, his manly grace
Are not the kind that you
Would find in a statue
And I can’t explain, it’s surely not his brain
That makes me thrill
I love him because he’s wonderful
Because he’s just old Bill
Burthen
He’s just my Bill, an ordinary boy
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
And 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
