The Who - Little Billy Lyrics

Little Billy was the fattest kid in his class
Always the last in line
All the other little kids would laugh at him
Said, he'd die before his time

Ha, ha, ha, ha
Ha, ha, ha, ha
Little Billy didn't mind

Most of the kids smoked cigarettes
Just to prove that they were cool
The teacher didn't know about the children's games
And Billy always followed the rules

Ha, ha, ha, ha
Ha, ha, ha, ha
Little Billy didn't mind

Billy was big on the outside
But there's an even bigger man inside
Ten million cigarettes burnin' every day
And Billy's still doin' fine

Now Billy and his classmates are middle-aged
With children of their own
Their smoking games are reality now
And cancer's seed is sown

Ha, ha, ha, ha
Ha, ha, ha, ha
Little Billy didn't mind

Most of them smoke maybe forty a day
A habit Billy doesn't share
One by one they're passing away
Leaving orphans to Billy's care

Ha, ha, ha, ha
Ha, ha, ha, ha
Ha, ha, ha, ha
Little Billy doesn't mind

Ha, ha, ha, ha
Ha, ha, ha, ha
Little Billy's doin' fine
