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

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
