[00:02]Bette Midler - Billy-A-Dick [00:05]Album 'For the Boys' (1991) [00:07]Every night while I'm undressin', [00:10]sayin' my prayers [00:11]and lightly confessin', [00:13]I can hear hot licks [00:14]from a set of drums upstairs. [00:17]Well, it couldn't be Johnny [00:18]'cause he isn't there; [00:19]Johnny's overseas. [00:21]We no not where. [00:22]But, believe it or not, [00:23]every night on the dot [00:24]I can hear a tenor drum say: [00:27]Billy-a-dick, Billy-a-dick, [00:28]tick, tack. [00:29]When's that character comin' back? [00:31]When's that kid in the G.I. lid [00:34]gonna choo-choo down the track? [00:36]Poor ol' me, [00:37]I'm beat as can be, [00:38]and my rim has even started to rust. [00:41]Look at these sticks tryin' [00:42]to take out the licks, [00:43]they're covered with an inch of dust, [00:45]beep-a-dust. [00:46]Billy-a-dick, Billy-a-dick, [00:47]tick, tack. [00:48]When's that character comin' back? [00:51]When's that boy with the jumpin' joy [00:53]gonna launch that last attack? [00:55]If he'll roll, roll, roll [00:57]like a drumstick [00:58]Chewin', chewin', chewin' [00:59]on a gumstick. [01:00]Jack, we'll soon have a Japenese derby [01:02]and beat it like a cymbal [01:04]on a music rack. [01:05]Billy-a-dick, Billy-a-dick, [01:06]tick, tack. [01:07]When's that character comin' back? [01:10]When's that boy with the jumpin' joy [01:12]gonna launch that last attack? [01:14]If he'll roll, roll, roll [01:16]like a drumstick [01:17]Chewin', chewin', chewin' [01:18]on a gumstick. [01:20]Jack, we'll soon have a Japenese derby [01:22]and beat it like a cymbal [01:23]on a music rack. [01:24]Billy-a-dick, Billy-a-dick, [01:25]tick, tack. [01:27]Billy-a-dick, Billy-a-dick, [01:28]tick, tack. [01:29]Billy-a-dick, Billy-a-dick, [01:30]tick, tack. [01:31]When's that character comin' back, [01:33]Mom?
