Billy was a rocker down in Baton Rouge 
Liked to sing country in his tennis shoes 
He grew up in the sixities 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 

(yodel) 

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
