Billy couldn't read or write
He never read a book in his life
He looked like shit
Face didn't fit
And only ever went out at night

Billy got invited to parties
He'd always dress to annoy
Billy fancied his chances
And they called him an arrogant boy

Billy had a special trick
He knew what made the punters tick
Freakin' the elite
To a fit of pique
Good old Billy lived by his wits

Billy didn't have a choice
Got buried underneath the noise
He took a deep brеath
Found his voice
An' they called him an arrogant boy

Oh, Billy
Oh, Billy
Oh, what havе you done
Oh, Billy, what have you done

Billy gonna take on the world
Now he's getting hard to destroy
He gave us strength
And now we're walking
In the path of an arrogant boy

Billy lived his life in the dirt
Didn't really give a squirt
He'd be standing there
Head in the air
Billy, salt of the earth

Billy used to dream all day
How to get there in his own sweet way
He took his time
And then enjoyed
The reputation of an arrogant boy
An arrogant boy
