 Oh Billy  Brown had lived an ordinary life.
 Two kids, a dog,  and a cautionary wife.
 While it was all  going according to  plan
 Then Billy Brown  fell in love  with another man.
 He met his lover  almost every single day
 Making excuses  through his (dodly) holiday
 (Unto religion  that he said and duty found
 They didn’t know  that his  faith was (earthlic)  bound)
 Brown
  Oh Billy Brown.
 Don’t let the stars  get you down.
 Don’t let the waves  let you drown.
 Brown…  Oh Billy Brown.
 Gonna pick you up  like a paper cup.
 Gonna shake the water  out of every nook.
 Oh Billy Brown.
 Oh Billy Brown  needed a place, somewhere to go.
 He found an island  off the coast of Mexico
 Leaving his lover  and his family behind.
 Oh Billy Brown  needed to find  some peace of mind.
 And on his journey  and his travels on the way,
 He met a girlie  who was brave enough to say,
 When they made love  he shared the burden of his mind.
 Oh Billy Brown  you are a victim  of the times.
 Brown…  Oh Billy Brown.
 Don’t let the stars  get you down.
 Don’t let the waves  let you drown.
 Brown…  Oh Billy Brown.
 Gonna pick you up  like a paper cup.
 Gonna shake the water  out of every nook.
 Oh Billy Brown.
 Brown…  Oh Billy  Brown.
 Gonna pick you  up like a paper  cup.
 Gonna shake the  water out of  every nook.
 Oh Billy Brown.
 Oh Billy  Brown had lived an ordinary life.
 Two kids, a dog,  and a cautionary wife.
 While it was all  going according to  plan
 Then Billy Brown  fell in love  with another man.
