Subject: Lyr Add: MY GIRL BILL (Jim Stafford)
Oh, go on then. You talked me into it. Not that I needed much persuading - it's a bit like virtual performing. Apologies for the British spelling, but it's how I always think of it.

MY GIRL BILL
(Jim Stafford)

Bill walked me to my door last night,
And he said: "Before I go
There's something about our love affair
That I have a right to know."
I said: "Let's not stand out here like this,
What would the neighbours think?
Why don't we just step inside
And I'll fix us both a drink."

CHORUS:
My girl Bill,
My - my girl Bill.
Can't say enough about the way I feel about my girl,
My girl Bill.

William's hands were shaking
As he took his glass of wine
And I could see we both felt the same
And when his eyes met mine
I said: "Who we love and why we love -
It's hard to understand
So let's just sit here on the couch
And face this - man to man.

CHORUS


"Now, Bill, you know we just left her place
And we both know what she said.
She doesn't want to see your face
And she wishes you were dead.
Now, I know we both love her,
And I guess we always will.
But you're gonna have to find another
'Cos she's my girl, Bill."

CHORUS
