Billy-a-dick, Billy-a-dick, tick, tack
They're covered with an inch of dust, beep-a-dust
And beat it like a cymbal on a music rack
If he'll roll, roll, roll like a drumstick
From a set of drums upstairs
Billy-a-dick, Billy-a-dick, tick, tack
Well, it couldn't be Johnny 'cause he isn't there
When's that character comin' back?
Poor ol' me, I'm beat as can be
Gonna choo-choo down the track?
But, believe it or not, every night on the dot
When's that character comin' back?
When's that kid in the G.I. lid
Gonna launch that last attack?
Billy-a-dick, Billy-a-dick, tick, tack
When's that boy with the jumpin' joy
Jack, we'll soon have a Japanese derby
When's that character comin' back?
If he'll roll, roll, roll like a drumstick
When's that boy with the jumpin' joy
Chewin', chewin', chewin' on a gumstick
Billy-a-dick, Billy-a-dick, tick, tack
Gonna launch that last attack?
Jack, we'll soon have a Japanese derby
Chewin', chewin', chewin' on a gumstick
I can hear hot licks
Johnny's overseas, we no not where
Billy-a-dick, Billy-a-dick, tick, tack
And beat it like a cymbal on a music rack
Billy-a-dick, Billy-a-dick, tick, tack
I can hear a tenor drum say
And my rim has even started to rust
Look at these sticks tryin' to take out the licks
