Billy was a rocker down in Baton Rouge Liked to sing country in his tennis shoes He grew up in the sixities on rock and roll But he got him a gig in a country show He travelled with them all across the USA But one night in the middle of the set they say He got his rockin' rhythm roots And country confused He sang the yodelin' blues (Yodel) Well the band thought Billy was a crazy fool But that yodelin' thing he did was powerful cool So they worked all week And they got it just right To play down at the club again Saturday night And the crowd went screamin' Crazy plum unglued All the girls thought Billy was a happenin' dude They said hey hey Billy Do whatever you choose Just sing the yodelin' blues So they got a big bus and a semi too A hit song, record deal, dream come true You can see 'em on the TV And the front page news They're done payin' their dues Long as Billy sings the yodelin' blues
