Lived a cat named Big Bad Bill,
 I wants to tell ya,
 Ah the cat was rough and tough and would strutt his stuff
 Had the whole town scared to death,
 When he walked by they all held their breath,
 He's a fighting man, sure enough
 And then Bill got himself a wife,
 Now he leads a different life...
 Big Bad Bill is sweet William now,
 Married life done changed him somehow,
 He's the man the town used to fear,
 Now they all call him sweet pappa Willie dear,
 Stronger than Samson I declare,
 Til the brown skinned woman,
 Bobbed his hair
 Big Bad Bill dont fight any more,
 Doing the dishes, mopping up that floor
 Well he used to go out drinking,
 Looking for a fight,
 Now he gotta see that woman, everynight,
 Big Bad Bill is sweet william now
 Ah Play it boys.
 I likes that jazz.
 Big Bad Bill dont fight any more,
 Doing the dishes, mopping up that floor
 Well he used to go out drinking,
 Looking for a fight,
 Now he gotta see that woman,everynight,
 Big Bad Bill is sweet william now
 Big Bad Bill is sweet william now
 Big Bad Bill is sweet william now
