BZN - In Memory of Billy Joe lyrics

In memory of Billy Joe (J. Veerman/J. Keizer/J. Tuijp) Billy Joe, my model neighbour He was healthy, he was rich Never boozed, no nicotine A work-horse like you've never seen But one day he struck his head Oh what a pity, Billy was dead Life's too short, so come what may Let us start to live today So come on - sing together Let us drink - let us dance Let your troubles fade away Gonna have a ball today So come on - sing together Let us drink - let us dance Let your troubles fade away Gonna have a ball today Cheerio, cheerio! Oh, baby chin-chin, oh what a show! Cheerio, cheerio, woah, woah, ho, tally-ho! So come on - sing together Let us drink - let us dance Let your troubles fade away Gonna have a ball today So come on - sing together Let us drink - let us dance Let your troubles fade away Gonna have a ball today Let's go crazy, la la la la la Let's feel lazy, la la la la Let's go crazy, la la la la la Let's feel lazy, la la la la Looked in every morning paper For news of Billy Joe What a pity at the end Not a word for my rich friend Let's go crazy, la la la la la Let's feel lazy, la la la la Let's go crazy, la la la la la Let's feel lazy, la la la la If you're a tramp or millionaire or Billy Joe You shouldn't care Life's too short, so come what may So let's start to live today So come on - sing together Let us drink - let us dance Let your troubles fade away Gonna have a ball today So come on - sing together Let us drink - let us dance Let your troubles fade away Gonna have a ball today Cheerio, cheerio! Oh, baby chin-chin, oh what a show! Cheerio, cheerio, woah, woah, ho, tally-ho!
