Big Bad Bill (Is Sweet William Now)
Peggy Lee
In the town of Louisville they got a man they call Big Bad Bill I wants to tell ya, he sure was tough tough, and he certainly did strut his stuff He had folks all scared to death, when he walked by they all held their breath He was a fighting man, sure enough Now Bill got himself a wife, and he leads a different life Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now Married life done changed him some how He's the man the town used to fear Now they all call him sweet pappa Willie dear Stronger than Samson I declare 'Til the brown skinned woman Bobbed his hair Big Bad Bill don't fight any more (No, he don't) Doing the dishesMopping up that floor (Yes, he is) Well he used to go out drinkingLooking for a fight Now he gotta see that womanEverynight Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now Ah, play it boysI likes that jazz Big Bad Bill don't fight any more (No, he don't) Doing the dishesMopping up that floor (Yes, he is) Well he used to go out drinkingLooking for a fight Now he gotta see that womanEverynight Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now (Doing the dishes) Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now (Mop up the floor) Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now
