Billy Songtext
von Prefab Sprout

Where d'you find that trumpet Billy?
Where d'you find that trumpet, Billy?
I found it on some wasteland, buried in the snow
How d'you learn to play it William?
How d'you learn to play it Billy?
Well, I sat down on a doorstep and practiced long and slow.
I let my feelings show
I let my feelings show
Trumpets come and trumpets go
It's amazing what gets left out in the snow.


I'm in love with Susan Billy
I'm in love with Susan Bill
Her smile is like a fairground - I'm basking in the glow
I got no gift for music, William
I got no gift for music, Bill
He said, sing a song of sixpence, steady as you go
Let your feelings show
Let your feelings show
Trumpets come and trumpets go
It's amazing what gets left out in the snow

Tell me all your secrets, Billy
I said, tell me all your secrets Bill
Lead me to your doorstep
There's so much I don't know
I'm in love with Susan Billy
I'm in love with Susan Bill
Her smile is like a fairground - I'm basking in the glow

Let your feelings show
Let your feelings show
