billy, vera and me
Here’s Billy an' Vera,
Please say, “Hello”.
Billy is like your palm,
Something you know.
Vera's as predictable
As August snow.
Vera takes me out
To the great unknown.
Billy brings me in
All the way back home.
Billy and Vera,
You’ve been with me forever.
Someday I’ll take you swimming
On the French Riviera.
I got to get to Billy.
Billy can make concrete.
Billy stops the land from moving
Under my feet.
I got to get to Vera.
Vera can find wild wheat.
Vera makes land move
When I’m standing in concrete.
Often times I’m standing
Ankle deep in sand
Halfway between Billy and Vera
Trying to reach a helping hand.
Billy doesn’t know Vera
And likewise I’m sure.
Both are so kind to me.
They help me endure.
They ought to get together,
Hell of a blind date.
Make me feel the earth move
Not from an earthquake.
Billy and Vera,
You’ve been with me forever.
Someday I’ll take you swimming
On the French Riviera.
