Bomp, bomp, bomp, bomp-bomp-bomp
Bomp, bomp, bomp, bomp-bomp-bomp
Bomp, bomp-bomp-bomp

For when I walk (bomp, bomp-bomp-bomp-bomp)
I always walk with Billy 
'Cause Billy knows just where to walk (bomp, bomp-bomp-bomp-bomp)

And when I talk (bomp, bomp-bomp-bomp-bomp)
I always talk with Billy
'Cause Billy knows just how to talk (bomp, bomp-bomp-bomp-bomp)

And when I dine (bomp, bomp-bomp-bomp-bomp)
I always dine with Billy
He takes me where I get my fill (bomp, bomp-bomp-bomp-bomp)

Want you to know, I love him so
I just want to be with Bill

Bomp, bomp, bomp, bomp-bomp-bomp
Bomp, bomp, bomp, bomp-bomp-bomp
Bomp, bomp-bomp-bomp

And when I dine (bomp, bomp-bomp-bomp-bomp)
I always dine with Billy
He takes me where I get my fill (bomp, bomp-bomp-bomp-bomp)

And when I sleep, and when I sleep
I always dream of Bill

Bomp, bomp, bomp, bomp-bomp-bomp
Bomp, bomp, bomp, bomp-bomp-bomp
Bomp, bomp-bomp-bomp
