Ah... The fifties. A very interesting period in the history of popular music. Rock and roll was beginning to change everything. Guitars. Drums. A little rhythm... And, apparently, a lot of chickens. Anyway... Would you like to hear a little song? It's about a fellow named Billy. So... Let's give it a try. BILLY AND THE CHICKEN ROCK! [Verse 1] Billy had a guitar He found it in the rain He didn't know the brand name He didn't know the name He learned a little rhythm He learned a little tune He played it in the kitchen At half past noon The chickens heard the guitar And ran across the yard Nobody knew why But they took it very hard [Chorus] Go, Billy, go! Play it loud, play it wrong! Go, Billy, go! You've been doing this all night long! Shake that guitar Stomp your feet Nobody knows the song But the chickens think it's neat! [Verse 2] Billy learned three chords Maybe only two He played them in the kitchen Till the coffee cup turned blue His mama yelled, "Billy, turn it down!" Billy said, "I'm sorry." Then he played another round! [Chorus] Go, Billy, go! Play it loud, play it wrong! Go, Billy, go! You've been doing this all night long! Shake that guitar Stomp your feet Nobody knows the song But the chickens think it's neat! [Bridge] One day a man came to the farm He said, "Son, you're gonna be a star!" Billy said, "Can I bring my chickens?" The man said, "No." Billy said, "Okay." Then he went home. [Final Chorus] Go, Billy, go! Play it loud, play it wrong! Go, Billy, go! The chickens sing along! Shake that guitar Stomp your feet Nobody knows the words Nobody knows the song! [Outro] Billy became famous. The chickens did not. Nobody knows why. Except the chickens.
