The Hollies

The Hollies are an English pop group formed in Manchester in the early 1960s, although the majority of the band members came from towns in East Lancashire. Known for their distinctive vocal harmony style, they became one of the leading British groups of the 1960s and early 1970s. They enjoyed considerable popularity in many countries, although they did not achieve major US chart success until 1966. They had 30 charting singles on the UK Singles Chart, and 21 on the Billboard Hot 100, with songs including, "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother", "Carrie Anne", "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress" and "The Air That I Breathe". more »

[Chorus]
Hey Willy your mother calls you Billy 
Your father calls you silly 
But you really are a pretty one 

Hey baby you're dressing like a lady 
The fellows call you Sadie 
But you really are a pretty one 

You don't care 
What they say about your hair 
Cause the bad man's smiling 
Every time he sees you comin' yeah 

Willy is the singer in a rock'n'roll band 
Every time he shows his face 
Put away your 

Oh yeah Willy's gonna show them now 
No no no no Willy's gonna go somehow 

My name's Willy gonna turn on the lights 
Playing rock'n'roll music to early early night 
Can't stop dancing to the rhythm in your feet 
Listen to the drummer Yeah listen to the beat 

[Chorus]

Hey baby you're dressing like a lady 
The fellows call you Sadie 
But you really are a pretty one 

You don't care 
What they say about your hair 
Cause the bad man's smiling 
Every time he sees you comin' yeah 

[Chorus]
