Billy dresses like Billie with an"ie"

Sometimes in the evening

But nobody seems to care

Nobody thought he was sane anyway

He stands by the door on Second Ave.

Watching people as they pass by

But have you ever seen the gleam-It's a gleam

There's a gleam in Billy's eye


But nobody knows if he'll try to save the world

Or if he'll try to shoot the President

And nobody knows if he just needs a girl,

Or if he wants to be a girl,

Or if he just needs to feel like a man


It's the same price - anyway

Same price - you have to pay

People put you down

That's where you're gonna' stay

It's the same price


Rudy Tootie got caught up in a scheme

Just before it backfired

Three years later, now he's back on the street

Word's out - he's up for hire

Rudy always liked the smell of a dollar bill

Especially if it's burning

Always had a thing for low I.Q.'s in high heels

Can't you feel the tables turning


In walks Billie - she's maintenance free

She'll be whatever he wants her to be


It's the same price - anyway

Same price - you have to pay

People put you down

That's where you're gonna' stay

It's the same price


Now Rudy's 0 for 2 - just another I.O.U.

She's watching as they take him away

He'll be better off behind those walls anyway


It's the same price - anyway

Same price - you have to pay

People put you down

That's where you're gonna' stay

It's the same price - Same price

People put you down that's where you're gonna' stay

It's the same price
