VERSE 1:Billy Taylor was a sailorHe was the world
air
And found her there in Billy Taylor's arms
The kids all laughed at me and said
They known about it since our junior year
I got so mad and hurt
a boy I like!
His name's not Billy or Buddy or Mike
It's Taylor... It's all about Taylor!
When I moved in he lived across the street
When I saw him I
There's an old Texaco right across
From the Athens Woolworth
Billy Joe Taylor's underneath that lift
There ain't a car on the planet that he can't fix
Deep like Susan, Cecil, Billy Taylor, deep like the hit you take on a Vick's Inhaler
Deep like a Spike Lee Joynt, Q's Jook Joint, like Malcolm Gladwell's
to this like a ship that's in motion
Other emcees take the Goldtone and panic
Then sink the ship like it was the Titanic
Billy Taylor known to rock the mic
Me and Billy Joe Taylor joined each other at the hip
I loved him like the brother I never had
He was my go-to-guy on 3rd and 10, made me look good
that frustration when you know
You're going nuts
You gotta make a move
There was Billy and Glover and Pacer and Taylor and Valerie and Barry
I
It's Apya on the beat
For the fans dem, the mandem, Taylor gang
Man look who it is, Taylor! look who is here Taylor!
Look who is killing em,Taylor
a metaphorical plug
Now drop the last bit of sense I had
Got it medicated with the medical drugs now
Red head, I went Opie Taylor
Red hot like I won't be

We made fun of your musical taste for so long
Now you're gone
John Denver, Billy Joel

For Leon Redbone there

Today, Billy Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge
And papa said to mama, as he passed around the blackeyed peas

'N' Papa said to Mama as he passed around the blackeyed peas
from Choctaw Ridge"
"Today Billy Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"
'n' Papa said to Mama as he passed around the blackeyed peas
