Turn on, Billy, I think that I wanna hear a tune from you
I'm feelin' redneck and a talkin' fish is mighty cool
I know I'm easily amused, by some transistors and a fuse
Oh Billy, you couldn't make me laugh any more
And just because you're my own, you make my trailer a home
I wanna hear a billy bass concert

In Alabama, you talkin' fish are just all the rage
And second to NASCAR, your plastic self means everything
I gave you a Bud and a smoke, and some batteries when you broke
Oh Billy, you'll always reside on my door
And whenever I'm not home...you're the answerin' machine on my phone
I love you so much that I bought me a talkin' trout

When I got my divorce, I had you take the witness stand
So now I love you like my mother
which is kind of a bummer, 'cause you wore me out
Took you to show and tell at special ed
You wanted me to take you to the river instead
But if I did that then I wouldn't be happy anymore
I'm still payin' off the loan, from havin' your plaque redone in chrome
I love Walmart, 'cause it's there that I bought your hide

I suppose I could collect my hooks and chuck you in the pool
But even though you beg me to, I know that that'd just be cruel
You're your very own rock 'n roll band...with a flimsy plastic stand
Oh Billy I love your animatronic face
I bought a first class seat on the bus for me
And I bought one for my best friend Billy
You'll be by my side from now 'til judgement day

Billy I'm so glad I've seen your plastic face
You'll stay in my home...for many...days
