Artist | Bette Midler |
Album | For the Boys |
作词 : | |
Every night while I'm undressin', | |
sayin' my prayers and lightly confessin', | |
I can hear hot licks | |
from a set of drums upstairs. | |
Well, it couldn't be Johnny 'cause he isn't there; | |
Johnny's overseas. We no not where. | |
But, believe it or not, every night on the dot | |
I can hear a tenor drum say: | |
Billy-a-dick, Billy-a-dick, tick, tack. | |
When's that character comin' back? | |
When's that kid in the G.I. lid | |
gonna choo-choo down the track? | |
Poor ol' me, I'm beat as can be, | |
and my rim has even started to rust. | |
Look at these sticks tryin' to take out the licks, | |
they're covered with an inch of dust, beep-a-dust. | |
Billy-a-dick, Billy-a-dick, tick, tack. | |
When's that character comin' back? | |
When's that boy with the jumpin' joy | |
gonna launch that last attack? | |
If he'll roll, roll, roll like a drumstick; | |
Chewin', chewin', chewin' on a gumstick. | |
Jack, we'll soon have a Japenese derby | |
and beat it like a cymbal on a music rack. | |
Billy-a-dick, Billy-a-dick, tick, tack. | |
When's that character comin' back? | |
When's that boy with the jumpin' joy | |
gonna launch that last attack? | |
If he'll roll, roll, roll like a drumstick; | |
Chewin', chewin', chewin' on a gumstick. | |

and beat it like a cymbal on a music rack. | |
Billy-a-dick, Billy-a-dick, tick, tack. | |
Billy-a-dick, Billy-a-dick, tick, tack. | |
Billy-a-dick, Billy-a-dick, tick, tack. | |
When's that character comin' back, Mom? |
