Billy Was a Punk (But Now He's Dead)

There once was a kid named billy and he had a bright red bike He rode it to all the local punk shows And when he arrived well he'd hang out with the bands And when they'd play he'd sing and he'd dance 'Cause billy was a punk Billy was a punk Billy was a punk but now he's dead And a few years down the road billy started his own band He only knew 3 chords but they toured all across the land And after all the shows they released a 7 inch But no one really liked it It never left the bargain bin Billy was a punk Billy was a punk Billy was a punk but now he's dead And one night billy was talking to this bassist from chicago They were talking about records About the earths and the bouncing souls And suddenly the sky turned all sorts of colours And out from the clouds came a ufo And that bassist from chicago turned out to be an alien He took billy to his planet Never to be seen again Billy was a punk Billy was a punk Billy was a punk but now he's dead And when they landed on the planet billy was thrown in the zoo In a cage next to joey ramone And billy said to joey "man i thought you were dead" But joey shis head and mumbled "gabba gabba hey" On the other side sat a lonely sid vicious Presumed dead for years but no one really missed him He had a beat-up bass but it wasn't plugged in He played anarchy in the uk for the parents and their little kids Billy was a punk Billy was a punk Billy was a punk but now he's dead And for the next 3 years billy played shows straight through the night And all the little green hardcore kids just laughed at the sight But billy had a plan Yes billy had a plan The zookeeper came in Billy was clearly dead Guitar strings around his neck The zookeeper came in Billy was clearly dead Guitar strings around his neck And then everyone bought his records and loved him Then everyone bought his records and loved him And they all got tattoos to spread the sad sad news Then everyone bought his records and loved him Then everyone bought his records and loved him And they all got tattoos to spread the sad sad news That billy was a punk Billy was a punk Billy was a punk but now he's dead Oh billy was a punk Billy was a punk Billy was a punk but now he's dead
