When Billy Met Sally
When Billy met Sally he was so far away
from the one that Sally had hoped for
disheveled was he
but his charm she could see as he sang from up in his tree
As he sang for the cows and sheep passing by
in the pasture up in his tree
she stopped grazing on her dandelion weeds
her love in Billy she could see
the cows and the sheep
in the pasture passed by
they moo and bleet with Billy so sweet
a pasture choir they join in his song
as best they could
to sing (singing) along
Sally he sang will you be my sweetheart
you're the prettiest goat I've seen
I know I'm not much but I climb pretty good
I'm not a picky eater I've got a good splean
In fact I think you'd
be quite impressed by
all the things I can eat
Sally said Oh Billy
it's your singing I love
though the other goats say (that) you (just) scream
So/and they lived (happily) (together) for the rest of their years
as happy as two goats can be
Billy found a guitar someone threw away
which at first he was tempted to eat
but he said what the heck I'll give it a try
I'll bar chord with my left hoof
and strum a tune with
my right one I think
and soon he was playing as proof
that a goat doesn't scream as he sings for his girl
and can even play the guitar
might take him only as far as his pasture
but to the cows and the sheep he's a star
But mostly for Sally he sings his goat songs
of all the things he can eat
But mostly for Sally he sings his goat songs
of all the things he can eat

Billy and Sally
Billy and Sally hit the road
with their goat traveling show
Billy played guitar while Sally played her Tom Tom
and sang along in harmony
They traveled around to this barn and that
with the cows they were a big hit
the sheep soon enough joined in the applause
though at first they were jealous a bit
Billy would a dance a gig
as Sally beat the rig
with her little tommy toms
to their goat songs
Billy would serenade
Sally served lemonade
going for ten cents a song
Then Sally said
ut oh lookie here
at this little baby bump
think that I'll have to
hang it up on
this travelin show bizz stuff
But don't worry dear
I've had my sweet fill
it's really been quite enough
Billy said yes it's been a good run
and we've sure have had our fun
And I surely do miss
our pasture back home
serenading cows and sheep
all day long as they roam
well life on the road you can keep
but for one last show
Billy he danced a gig
Sally she beat the rig
with her little tommy toms
to their goat songs
as Billy would serenade
Sally served lemonade
going for ten cents a song
And Billy said Junior might (just) sing along
with all of my goat songs es
yes I think it'll be a great time
it's gonna be a great time
back home
