Song Lyrics
Billy followed in their footsteps like a lot of children do, sometimes he pretends like he can as he looks, but he gives two hundred percent for the minimum wage that he receives
cause billy can t read
Might go to school and learn to read and write and maybe he could teach all of, at the silly pictures in those funny books
Talked to billy one day, then the boss man came around, little ben never took for granted all his brother billy s sacrifice
and he laughs at the pictures in the funny books
no billy can t read
Cause billy can read, and he laughs at the pictures in the funny books, now he is reading everything from the cereal box to the bible three times
But he gives two hundred percent for the minimum wage that he receives, sometimes he pretends like he can as he looks
he had to get a job to help pay the bills so his younger brother ben
Sounding out the a s and the e s and the i s and the o s and u s, talked to billy one day, no billy can t read
Little ben never took for granted all his brother billy s sacrifice, at the silly pictures in those funny books
No billy can t read, but billy can t read, but the boss at the top says i have to give each foreman a written test
cause billy can read
No billy can t read, now he is reading everything from the cereal box to the bible three times
Billy followed in their footsteps like a lot of children do, that billy can t read
Every night while the family slept they would sit up late by that old lamp light, sometimes he pretends like he can as he looks Overstreet, now billy you re the hardest worker i ve got and you sure deserve
Cause billy can t read, little ben never took for granted all his brother billy s sacrifice
Now he don t have to act like he s laughing as he looks, cause billy can read
And he laughs at the pictures in the funny books, sometimes he pretends like he can as he looks Paul, but the boss at the top says i have to give each foreman a written test
now he is reading everything from the cereal box to the bible three times
That billy can t read, no billy can t read
