Rockabilly Billy by The Sports (AUS) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Rockabilly Billy bought an engagement ring
Gave it to his girl and she didn't say a thing
And now he's getting worried
'Cause he sold his guitar
Had to get a job, yeah parking cars

[Verse 2]
At school he was a fool
They thought he was an idiot
Had a look in his eye
And he used to laugh a lot
Said he couldn't take it
Said he didn't care
Left and got a job pumpin' gas, oh yeah

[Verse 3]
Don't get to see his old friends no more
Since he met that little girl on the dance floor
Next week he's getting married
Gonna settle down
Gonna rent a place on the outskirts of town
[Chorus]
Her mother thinks he's crazy
Her father does as well
Sent them on a honeymoon
To a cheap hotel

[Verse 4]
Before he paid a deposit on an engagement ring
He used to think Carl Perkins was king
Used to be a wild boy
And be out every night
Putting money in the jukebox and burning the light

[Verse 5]
Billy's girl Nancy, she's an usherette
Works a split shift, but she don't forget
After work Billy's waiting at the front door
They'll hug and kiss till their lips get sore

[Chorus]
Her mother thinks he's crazy
Her father does as well
Sent them on a honeymoon
To a cheap hotel

[Verse 6]
Rockabilly Billy bought an engagement ring
Gave it to his girl and she didn't say a thing
And now he's getting worried
'Cause he sold his guitar
Had to get a job, yeah parking cars
[Chorus]
Her mother thinks he's crazy
Her father does as well
Sent them on a honeymoon
To a cheap hotel
