Lyrics

Verse 1

Father:
He walked inside one Saturday,
But never saw the light of day.

Mother:
He’s got to be around somewhere!
He’ll be grounded when he’s found, I swear…

Bartender: (spoken, wryly)
Grounded, eh? Seems he’s underground…

Verse 2
Father:
Have you seen him with those friends of his?

Mother:
They could tell us where he is!

Father:
It’s been a week—please help us out!

Mother:
Oh, he’s grounded ‘til he’s six-feet down!

Verse 3
Father:
We’ve asked each clerk, but they just stare,

Mother:
Like they’re hiding something there.

Father:
Their laughter’s like some bad old play,

Mother:
and we’re just fools who entertain

Verse 4
Father:
As Debra’s nerves became disturbed,
He leaned in close, to hear her words

Mother:
He found my pain so easily,
It bothered him internally


Chorus
What’s happened to our Billy-boy?
Oh, please help us, we employ
Is he lost or run away
He came in here last Saturday

Bridge
Mother:
Where has he gone? Please help me find.
I call his name, the echo’s mine.
I see him laughing my mind,
It’s like a prank that’s crossed the line!

Caleb: (spoken)
I’m sorry for the grief you’ve faced,
Please have a seat, let’s crack this case.
