Billy Can't Read
Dans le style de
Paroles
his momma and his daddy
were very poor
and they never went to school
billy followed in their footsteps
like a lot of children do
he had to get a job
to help pay the bills
so his younger brother ben
might go to school to
learn to read and write
then maybe he can
teach all of them
but billy can't read
no billy can't read
but he gives two hundred
percent, of the minimum wage
that he receives
sometimes he pretends
like he can as he looks
and he laughs at the pictures
in the funny books
but it really ain't funny you see
that billy can't read
then the bossman
came around
and talked to billy one day
he says now billy you're
the hardest worker i've got
and you sure deserve more pay
but the boss at the top
says i have to give
every foreman a written test
billy hung his head
'cos he knew right then
he'd always have to
settle for less
'cos billy can't read
no billy can't read
but he gives two hundred
percent, of the minimum wage
that he receives
sometimes he pretends
like he can as he looks
and he laughs at the pictures
in the funny books
but it really ain't funny you see
that billy can't read
little ben never
took for granted
all his brother billy sacrificed
every night while
the family slept
they would sit up
late by that old lamplight
soundin' out the a's
and the e's and the i's
and the o's and the u's
now he's reading everything
from the cereal box
to the bible
three times through
'cos billy can read
yeah billy can read
now the rest of his life
will be different because
of the special gift he received
now he don't have to act
like he's laughing as he looks
at the silly pictures
in those funny books
there as funny as they can be
now that billy can read
yeah his life is
much better you see
now that billy can read
