Lyrics Hey Willy - 1998 Remastered Version - The Hollies

Hey Willy, your mother calls you Billy
Your father calls you silly
But you really are a pretty one

Hey baby, you're dressing like a lady
The fellows call you Sadie
But you really are a pretty one

You don't care
What they say about your hair
'Cause the bad man's smiling
Every time he sees you comin', yeah

Willy is the singer in a rock 'n' roll band
Every time he shows his face
It's just to put away a grand, oh yeah

Willy's gonna show them now
No, no, no, no
Willy's gonna go somehow

My name's Willy, gonna turn on the lights
Playing rock 'n' roll music till' the early, early night
Can't stop jamming to the rhythms in your feet
Listen to the drummer, yeah, listen to the beat, oh yeah

Willy's gonna show them now
No, no, no, no
Willy's gonna go somehow

Hey Willy, your mother calls you Billy
Your daddy calls you silly
But you really are a pretty one

Hey baby, you're dressing like a lady
The fellows call you Sadie
But you really are a pretty one

You don't care
What they say about your hair
'Cause the bad man's smiling
Every time he sees you comin', yeah

Willy is the singer in a rock 'n' roll band
Every time he shows his face
It's just to put away a grand, oh yeah

Willy's gonna show them now
No, no, no, no
Willy's gonna go somehow
