In Memory of Billy Joe lyrics

Billy Joe, my model neighbour

He was healthy, he was rich

Never boozed, no nicotine

A workhorse like you've never seen

But one day he struck his head

Oh what a pity, Billy was dead

Life's too short, so come what may

Let us start to live today!

So come on - sing together

Let us drink - let us dance

Let your troubles fade away

Gonna have a ball today

So come on - sing together

Let us drink - let us dance

Let your troubles fade away

Gonna have a ball today

Cheerio, cheerio

Oh, baby chin-chin, oh what a show!

Cheerio, cheerio

Woah, woah, ho, tally-ho!

So come on - sing together

Let us drink - let us dance

Let your troubles fade away

Gonna have a ball today

So come on - sing together

Let us drink - let us dance

Let your troubles fade away

Gonna have a ball today

Let's go crazy, la la la la la

Let's feel lazy, la la la la

Let's go crazy, la la la la la

Let's feel lazy, la la la la

Looked in every morning paper

For news of Billy Joe

What a pity at the end

Not a word for my rich friend

Let's go crazy, la la la la la

Let's feel lazy, la la la la

Let's go crazy, la la la la la

Let's feel lazy, la la la la

If you're a tramp or millionaire or Billy Joe

You shouldn't care

Life's too short, so come what may

So let's start to live today!

So come on - sing together

Let us drink - let us dance

Let your troubles fade away

Gonna have a ball today

So come on - sing together

Let us drink - let us dance

Let your troubles fade away

Gonna have a ball today

Cheerio, cheerio

Oh, baby chin-chin, oh what a show!

Cheerio, cheerio

Woah, woah, ho, tally-ho!
