there once was a kid named billy and he had a bright red bike
he rode it to all the local punk shows
and when he arrived well he'd hang out with the bands
and when they'd play he'd sing and he'd dance
'cause billy was a punk
billy was a punk
billy was a punk but now he's dead
and a few years down the road billy started his own band
he only knew 3 chords but they toured all across the land
and after all the shows they released a 7 inch
but no one really liked it
it never left the bargain bin
billy was a punk
billy was a punk
billy was a punk but now he's dead
and one night billy was talking to this bassist from chicago
they were talking about records
about the earths and the bouncing souls
and suddenly the sky turned all sorts of colours
and out from the clouds came a ufo
and that bassist from chicago turned out to be an alien
he took billy to his planet
never to be seen again
billy was a punk
billy was a punk
billy was a punk but now he's dead
and when they landed on the planet billy was thrown in the zoo
in a cage next to joey ramone
and billy said to joey man i thought you were dead
but joey shis head and mumbled gabba gabba hey
on the other side sat a lonely sid vicious
presumed dead for years but no one really missed him
he had a beat-up bass but it wasn't plugged in
he played anarchy in the uk for the parents and their little kids
billy was a punk
billy was a punk
billy was a punk but now he's dead
and for the next 3 years billy played shows straight through the night
and all the little green hardcore kids just laughed at the sight
but billy had a plan
yes billy had a plan
the zookeeper came in
billy was clearly dead
guitar strings around his neck
the zookeeper came in
billy was clearly dead
guitar strings around his neck
and then everyone bought his records and loved him
then everyone bought his records and loved him
and they all got tattoos to spread the sad sad news
then everyone bought his records and loved him
then everyone bought his records and loved him
and they all got tattoos to spread the sad sad news
that billy was a punk
billy was a punk
billy was a punk but now he's dead
oh billy was a punk
billy was a punk
billy was a punk but now he's dead
