Bette Midler ~ Billy-a-dick


Every night while i'm undressin', Sayin' my prayers and lightly confessin', I can hear hot licks From a set of drums upstairs. Well, it couldn't be Johnny 'cause he isn't there; Johnny's overseas. we no not where. But, believe it or not, every night on the dot I can hear a tenor drum say: Billy-a-dick, billy-a-dick, tick, tack. When's that character comin' back? When's that kid in the G.I. lid Gonna choo-choo down the track? Poor ol' me, i'm beat as can be, And my rim has even started to rust. Look at these sticks tryin' to take out the licks, They're covered with an inch of dust, beep-a-dust. Billy-a-dick, billy-a-dick, tick, tack. When's that character comin' back? When's that boy with the jumpin' joy Gonna launch that last attack? If he'll roll, roll, roll like a drumstick; Chewin', chewin', chewin' on a gumstick. Jack, we'll soon have a Japanese derby And beat it like a cymbal on a music rack. Billy-a-dick, billy-a-dick, tick, tack. When's that character comin' back? When's that boy with the jumpin' joy Gonna launch that last attack? If he'll roll, roll, roll like a drumstick; Chewin', chewin', chewin' on a gumstick. Jack, we'll soon have a Japanese derby And beat it like a cymbal on a music rack. Billy-a-dick, billy-a-dick, tick, tack. Billy-a-dick, billy-a-dick, tick, tack. Billy-a-dick, billy-a-dick, tick, tack. When's that character comin' back, mom? more free lyrics

Every night while i'm undressin',
Sayin' my prayers and lightly confessin',
I can hear hot licks
From a set of drums upstairs.

Well, it couldn't be Johnny 'cause he isn't there;
Johnny's overseas. we no not where.
But, believe it or not, every night on the dot
I can hear a tenor drum say:

Billy-a-dick, billy-a-dick, tick, tack.
When's that character comin' back?
When's that kid in the G.I. lid
Gonna choo-choo down the track?

Poor ol' me, i'm beat as can be,
And my rim has even started to rust.
Look at these sticks tryin' to take out the licks,
They're covered with an inch of dust, beep-a-dust.

Billy-a-dick, billy-a-dick, tick, tack.
When's that character comin' back?
When's that boy with the jumpin' joy
Gonna launch that last attack?

If he'll roll, roll, roll like a drumstick;
Chewin', chewin', chewin' on a gumstick.
Jack, we'll soon have a Japanese derby
And beat it like a cymbal on a music rack.

Billy-a-dick, billy-a-dick, tick, tack.
When's that character comin' back?
When's that boy with the jumpin' joy
Gonna launch that last attack?

If he'll roll, roll, roll like a drumstick;
Chewin', chewin', chewin' on a gumstick.
Jack, we'll soon have a Japanese derby
And beat it like a cymbal on a music rack.

Billy-a-dick, billy-a-dick, tick, tack.
Billy-a-dick, billy-a-dick, tick, tack.
Billy-a-dick, billy-a-dick, tick, tack.
When's that character comin' back, mom?

Globalized Sounds

Today, beautiful European and American music, an Afrobeats recorded in Lagos, can play in headphones in Tokyo; a South Korean idol group can fill an Argentine stadium to capacity. On Spotify, the playback volume of African music has increased by 500% in five years; K-pop has already transcended the Asian border and become a common language for young people all over the world; Latin music has consistently topped the streaming charts for several consecutive years. The world is getting smaller while the scope of music is expanding.

The Power of the Scene

When the lights dim and the first note is played, strangers become synchronized. The tremor when thousands sing together, and the melody that still echoes after the crowd disperses - this is an experience that no screen can convey. We look forward to the return of large-scale concerts to the essence of music, and we also look forward to small livehouses continuing to nourish the most vibrant soil of music.

Crossing Borders

Music transcends languages - even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can still shed tears or dance. It transcends cultures - the drumbeats of Nigeria and the chants of Iceland coexist under the same sky. It transcends generations - a song from half a century ago can still bring tears to the eyes of today's young people.

We Create Together

The future of global music is not determined by algorithms, nor is it monopolized by a few giants. It is shaped by every person who presses the play button. Maintain your curiosity, step out of your comfort zone. Support independent musicians and attend live performances. Seek connections through music - because we believe that a song can change a day, and music can change the world.
