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
