Billy was a rocker down in Baton Rouge   Liked to sing country in his tennis shoes   He grew up in the sixties on rock and roll   But he got him a gig in a country show   He travelled with them all across the USA   But one night in the middle of the set they say   He got his rockin' rhythm roots   And country confused   He sang the yodelin' blues      Well the band thought Billy was a crazy fool   But that yodelin' thing he did was powerful cool   So they worked all week   And they got it just right   To play down at the club again Saturday night   And the crowd went screamin'   Crazy plum unglued   All the girls thought Billy was a happenin' dude   They said hey hey Billy   Do whatever you choose   Just sing the yodelin' blues      So they got a big bus and a semi too   A hit song, record deal, dream come true   You can see 'em on the TV   And the front page news   They're done payin' their dues   Long as Billy sings the yodelin' blues
