This is a song about Billy Goat
A young man that never knew what he wanted
Let's check it out
You see, Billy wanted every woman in the world
But didn't wanna give nothing in return
Tried his best to swing, you know
But it didn't work
So you gotta be down for the right thing
Billy Goat moved over to the East Coast
Well, he never knew his name
But he'd always get what he want
Billy even had a girl but he called her friend
Didn't like to claim her name
He likes to play the game
But you gotta be down, down
Down for the right thing
You can't mess around
Ow, be close to the righteous, yeah
You gotta be down, down
Down for the right thing
You can't mess around
Ow, be close to the righteous
Billy told Betty that he was leavin' town
Started gettin' worried from the word around
Well, Billy got babies over here and over there
He's startin' to fade away
'Cause he's so damn scared
But you gotta be down, down
Down for the right thing
You can't mess around
Ow, be close to the righteous, yeah
You gotta be down, down
Down for the right thing
You can't mess around
Ow, be close to the righteous
Billy, don't tell me that you're feelin' bad
The only way you can do that is you're feelin' sad
Well, well, well
I always heard that you were a strong man
And the word around is that that man won't hang his head
But you gotta be down, down
Down for the right thing
You can't mess around
Ow, be close to the righteous
You gotta be down, down
Down for the right thing
You can't mess around
Ow, be close to the righteous
You gotta be down, down
Billy Goat, where you at?
Do-bay, do-bay, do-bay, yeah
