I want to be like Billy Baxter
And lose my limitations
I want to be like Billy Baxter
And do imitations
Billy's got a thousand faces
He's a lover and a gambler too
Just to see him go through his paces
Is a lesson for all the crew
'Coz he got a hungry heart
He got love to burn
'Coz he got a hungry heart
He got love to burn
Billy's in love with abandon
But he never seems to lose control
He can walk right through disaster
Everyone in pieces but he's still whole
I want to be like Billy Baxter
And lose my limitations
I want to be like Billy Baxter
And do imitations
'Coz he got a hungry heart
He got love to burn
'Coz he got a hungry heart
He got love to burn
Hold it steady Billy
While I pour the wine
When you think you're ready Billy
Play that pantomime for me one time
I want to be like Billy Baxter
I want to be like Billy Baxter
I want to be like Billy Baxter
I want to be like Billy Baxter
