lyrics

1, 2, 3, 3, 3

He liked to drink his whiskey
He liked to pack a bowl
He would tell funky stories ‘bout the godfather of soul

His name was Billy
Billy Triplett
One is just too lonely
Two just ain’t enough
Ya gotta Triplett

He’s a Jaggerbomb, he’s a water bong
He’s the reason we got so fucked up and wrote this song

It’s all for Billy
Billy Triplett
One is just too lonely
Two just ain’t enough
Ya gotta Triplett

He would crack a smile
Tell a dirty joke
He would give the best hugs
And rolled the perfect smoke

It’s funk-a-Billy
Billy Triplett
One is just too lonely
Two just ain’t enough
Ya gotta Triplett

He left Prince standing in the purple rain at Paisley Park
Just to hang out with Rob Atwood and Jamey Clark

We love you Billy
Billy Triplett
One is just too lonely
Two just ain’t enough
Ya gotta Triplett

Billy checked out early like we’ll do this song
Cause it’s three minutes thirty-three seconds long

We love you Billy
Billy Triplett
One is just too lonely
Two just ain’t enough
Ya gotta Triplett
