Billy's Blues - The Tiger Lillies

Billy’s in the drugstore

Seven nights a week

Fills himself so full of drugs

He can hardly speak

Then he goes out working

Selling what he can

If you’ve got the money

You can be his man

Billy’s blue

He’s drugstore blue

Well Billy sends me letters

Everything is fine

Drug rehabilitation programme’s

Gonna work this time

The he send me a letter

He’s in jail

Can I post the bail

Billy’s blue

He’s drugstore blue

Well last time I saw Billy

He was suckin' off a man

Other men were watching

And he didn’t give a damn

Now I look at Billy

And he’s lyin' on a slab

His funeral arrangements

And we’re feeling sad

Billy’s blue

He’s drugstore blue

Billy’s blue

He’s drugstore blue

Yeah Billy’s blue

He’s drugstore blue
