Lyrics Daniel Johnston

Daniel Johnston

Billions/Rock

Ahh

There were millions of people

And they all came to hear me play

Billions and billions of people

In the audience from all over the world

I was a thousand years old

Been playing rock and roll music all my life

People like to come hear me rock

Put on a show

That night was special

I was really feeling good

I told them all I loved them

And there’s nothing like rock and roll bizness

Billions and billions of people

Well my baby loves to rock

My baby she’s my best baby

Every bit a baby she’s a baby she’s my best baby

When I met my baby I was just 19

I thrilled to my life I couldn’t believe her

She was so beautiful I saw her with my eyes

And I saw her and I wouldn’t leave her

And I never forget her

My baby

My baby married an undertaker

What grief

My baby I always seen her

When I was walking down the street

In every house in every store

In every mirror she was there

Someday gonna get her

Someday gonna have her

Someday gonna get her

That’s what I’m waiting for

I’m gonna get her

Gonna thrill to my life

I’m going to get her

Baby if you’re listening

I love you still

Every time I saw ya

I ask ya to marry ya

I told you I had money

And nothing was funny

You said you were in love with somebody else

I knew you was lying

Ah you didn’t like what I done

You didn’t like what I done

You didn’t like what I done

Had to have my fun

Baby, yeah

Told my baby I was gonna meet her soon

And I called her on the phone

She said she didn’t know me

Didn’t know who I was

I said I wasn’t a phony no more

I said I never was

Tried to be an artist

Don’t amount to much

Tried to draw a picture

Don’t get touch

I want you and you want me

Gonna get together

And it’s gonna be funny

Rock

I’m gonna rock the world with my power

I know you like sex

And I’m gonna give you the best

Gonna give it to ya every chance I can

Get ya in the morning

And get ya in the evening

Get ya in… take you to Japan

We’ll have our own children

Have our own house

And we’ll be rich

Cause honey I rock rock rock

Yea yea yea
