Growing up in
Torrance—
A suburb of L.A.—
Billy was a SoCal
Dreamer all the way.
He loved sunny
beaches
And smooth mountain
slopes.
A day without the
sunshine
Would always dash
his hopes.
Not the greatest
student,
He wasn’t good with
books.
Luckily he quickly
learned
To get by on his
looks.
He never went to
college;
School was not his
style.
Modeling, he
thought,
Might be more
worthwhile.
Sure, he was
good-looking
And knew he could
excel.
But like many
others,
He didn’t do so
well.
Deciding on a path
Requiring looks and
charm,
He felt that
entertaining ladies
Couldn't cause much
harm.
(Chorus)
The king of the
strip club circuit—
The lord of the
nightclub scene—
In New York and
California
And places in
between
Will walk into a
room
And all the people’s
eyes
Look in his
direction—
Both the ladies’ and
the guys’.
Although he’s buff
and handsome,
He tends to put on
airs.
Despite the six-pack
down below,
There’s not a lot
upstairs.
Being a male
stripper
Could get mighty
old.
Removing all those
clothes,
Doesn’t one get
cold?
But Billy loved his
lifestyle
And took it on the
road.
He even tried
“escorting”
Whenever business
slowed.
All across the
country
You’d hear the
ladies scream.
When Billy walked
out on the stage,
You could feel the
steam.
Pumping iron by day
And stripping after
dark
To Billy was
exciting—
A walk in the park.
It must take some
talent
To strip before the
lights.
But his knock-out
body
Helped him reach the
heights.
You wonder, Was he
happy?
It’s really hard to
tell.
All we know is that
for years
He raised a lot of
hell.
So what does Billy
do now?
Ask at clubs and
bars.
Some say he sells
insurance;
Others say used
cars.
Someone said she saw
him
Last month near
Chapel Hill,
Sitting on a bar
stool
At a bar and grill,
Sweet-talkin’ the
ladies
And trying to hold
fast
To all the vivid
memories
Of his glorious
past.
(Chorus)
The king of the
strip club circuit—
The lord of the
nightclub scene—
In New York and
California
And places in
between
Will walk into a
room
And all the people’s
eyes
Look in his
direction—
Both the ladies’ and
the guys’.
Although he’s buff
and handsome,
He tends to put on
airs.
Despite the six-pack
down below,
There’s not a lot
upstairs.
