SWING-A-BILLY
1v/
At the age of 7, my Mom gave me
A simple little gift that would set me FREE
My hands too small for an 8 note span
Mom walked the chord in my left hand
A special little gift from my Mom Micki
My Momma called it …
Swing-a-Billy
B/
Swing, Swing, Swing-a-Billy
Swing, Swing, Swing,
Swing-a-Billy
Swing, Swing, Swing,
Swing-a-Billy
Swing, Swing, Swing,
Swing-a-Billy
It Rocks, it Swings, but it’s not Hillbilly
My Momma called it …
Swing-a-Billy
2v/
I went off to college & got a degree
I completely forgot Mom’s recipe
I played Bach, Beethoven, Hayden and more …
I can read & write a musical score
It’s a style that smiles, You might call it Silly
My Momma called it …
Swing-a-Billy
B/
2B/
It’s a little of this and a pinch of that
It gives your heart a thrill
A homemade brew that’s in the grove
You know you just can’t sit still

3v/
To complete my Mom’s recipe,
I learned to pound the keys like Jerry Lee
Add a Rockin’ Rhythm to the Riffs & BEAT
It will get you up & OFF of your seat
A swinging little mix that will rock you really
My Momma called it …
Swing-a-Billy
B/
4v/
I been here & there & everywhere
Well, I made the news when I sang the blues
Oh, I got real HOT when I switched to POP
And what a thrill to play Bob Wills
A sweet little blend that is all mine truly
My Momma called it …
Swing-a-Billy

THE QUEEN OF SWING
1V
It's the Hottest joint in the town around
One drink min & you can hear the sounds
So grab a partner and let her fly.
Anyone hip can do the Friday Night Slide
Jumpin' & Jivin', can you dig the scene

B/
So, Rock, Rock, Rock til you drop
And Bop - Bop ... Man you're really hot
Just, Spin & Spin, run away with him.
Dance too close & it's just a little sin.
Everyone here is doing there thing
to the band of five & the Queen of Swing
2v/
So, Tell your friends just where to go
to the juke joint jumping down on Kokomo
Rockin' & Rollin' we're all doing fine
The band is swingin' in double time
It's the Queen of Swing & her band of 5
hot licks jamming can you dig the jive
3v/
The Preacher Man say, it's the devils den
But that just means, he ain't never been
cause all we do is dance about
Hoop & holler, & Scream & shout
It's clear to me he ain't never seen
the band of five & the Queen of Swing.

V/
Sometimes I Wonder what he’s doing since we said goodbye.
Sometimes I wonder if he feels like I do tonight
4/ It was my fault, +5/ I’ll take the blame.
I let my pride get in the way
I was hurt my heart was broke.
Those old memories still bring me pain.
V:
Still I wonder what he would say if I gave him a call
But still I wonder would it mean that much to you at all.
I will get down on my knees
And beg you for a second chance
Let’s forget, let’s make a new start
Don’t hang up, I’m beggin’ you please
V - Lead …
It was my fault, I’ll take the blame.
I let my pride get in the way
I was hurt my heart was broke.
Those old memories still bring me pain
V
Sometimes I wonder,
if you ever really cared
Sometimes I wonder,
it was just an old love affair
Two wrongs don’t make a right
My love for you won’t ever die
Once more time, let’s give it a try
We’ll make that wrong a right …
