Lyrics:

Billy the kid I understand you

It really ain't your fault that the west is so wild

Billy the kid cain't reprimand you

You must have been deprived when you was a child



Whoopee ti yi yipee yipee, shoot 'em in the belly Billy

Ti yi yipee yipee, shoot 'em in the head

Ti yi yipee yipee, saw you on the telly Billy

Late late showdown - down dead



You're headed for the last round up

Your corral's OK

But your morale's in a sad bad way



Billy the kid, you should have been a good guy

If you had had the proper guidance from your dad

Billy the kid, nobody should die

Environmental circumstances made you go bad



Whoopee ti yi yipee yipee, shoot 'em in the belly Billy

Ti yi yipee yipee, Billy give 'em hell

Ti yi yipee yipee, saw you on the telly Billy

Farewell welfare, farewell



Now you'll be a swingin' from the top of a tree

You're being punished with a capitol P

Oh me
