Lyrics
Bill Me
By Ted Horrell
I got a picture of the three of us
As close as we could be
Somebody took it at that crazy dress up
Halloween party
I went as a mirror
Though I just reflected you
You went as a microscope
That I couldn’t see through
Bill was an amoeba, though
And everybody laughed
When he slipped up on the plastic slide
That sat upon your lap
In a reflection made of Reynold’s foil
Sometimes it’s hard to tell
But it was then that I reflected that I don’t know you very well
When ole Bill showed up for Thanksgiving
I didn’t think a thing
When we went out to see a movie I said
Let’s give Bill a ring!
You said Bill’s an all time great, and I said
What could be more true?
But I didn’t know ‘til now that Bill
Was making love to you
Does this mean we’re over?
Could it be the end?
No time now for masquerade
No time to pretend
There aren’t too many things
that I can say without a doubt
But I know I’ve lost somebody
I don’t want to live without
I sure miss Bill
