Oh, Billy Brown had lived an ordinary life   Two kids, a dog and the precautionary wife   While it was all going accordingly to plan   Then Billy Brown fell in love with another man      He met his lover almost every single day   Making excuses through his dodgy holiday   Unto religion that he said he newly found   They didn't know that his faith was earthly bound      Brown, oh, Billy Brown   Don't let the stars get you down   Don't let the waves let you drown      Brown, oh, Billy Brown   Gonna pick you up like a paper cup   Gonna shake the water out of every nook   Oh, Billy Brown      Oh, Billy Brown needed a place somewhere to go   He found an island off the coast of Mexico   Leaving his lover and his family behind   Oh, Billy Brown needed to find some peace of mind      And on his journey and his travels on the way   He met a girlie who was brave enough to say   When they made love he shared the burden of his mind   Oh, Billy Brown you are a victim of the times      Brown, oh, Billy Brown   Don't let the stars get you down   Don't let the waves let you drown      Brown, oh, Billy Brown   Gonna pick you up like a paper cup   Gonna shake the water out of every nook   Oh, Billy Brown      Brown, oh, Billy Brown   Gonna pick you up like a paper cup   Gonna shake the water out of every nook   Oh, Billy Brown      Oh, Billy Brown had lived an ordinary life   Two kids, a dog and the precautionary wife   While it was all going accordingly to plan   Then Billy Brown fell in love with another man
