BILLY NEVER MADE THE FOOTBALL TEAM
|
CAUSE BILLY'S SIZE WAS SMALL
|
BUT BILLY'S BROTHER WAS A MIGHTY LAD
|
AND PLAYED A LOT OF HIGHSCHOOL BALL
|
AND BILLY'S DADDY NEVER FAVORED HIM
|
HE CATERED TO THE BIGGER GUYS
|
BUT LATER ON IN A BIGGER WAY
|
BILLY OVERCAME HIS SIZE
|
|
THE YEARS FLEW BY AND BILLY GREW
|
BUT HE NEVER GOT VERY BIG
|
WE CALLED HIM SHORTY BUT HE NEVER GOT MAD
|
HE WAS ALWAYS GOOD FOR A DIG
|
AND WE PAID NO MIND WHEN HE FELL IN LINE
|
AND LEFT WITH THE OTHER GUYS
|
AND THE SARGENT LAUGHED AT HIS SKINNY FRAME
|
BUT BILLY OVERCAME HIS SIZE
|
|
BILLY OVERCAME HIS SIZE
|
YEAH BILLY OVERCAME HIS SIZE
|
LATER ON IN A BIGGER WAY
|
BILL OVERCAME HIS SIZE
|
|
BILLY'S BROTHER MADE A FOOTBALL STAR
|
AND THE BIGGEST MAN IN TOWN
|
AND THE SCHOLARSHIP THAT KEPT HIM HOME
|
NEVER SEEMED TO BRING HIM DOWN
|
|
BUT ON THE OTHER HAND HIS BROTHER BILL
|
PUT PRIDE IN HIS DADDY'S EYES
|
WHEN HE DIED TO SAVE THOSE OTHER MEN
|
BILLY OVERCAME HIS SIZE
|
|
BILLY OVERCAME HIS SIZE
|
BILLY OVERCAME HIS SIZE
|
WHEN HE DIED TO SAVE THOSE OTHER MEN
|
BILLY OVERCAME HIS SIZE
|
