The Candy Twins Big Billy (Billy Whitehurst tribute) video

The Candy Twins CD now available from www.banquetrecords.com/thecandytwins This is the third of the four songs recorded in Joe Public Studios. For the best audio quality go to www.myspace.com An ode to Billy Whitehurst - 'the hardest player in the game' according to Alan Hansen. And a Hull City hero. With apologies to The Jam because I'm sure this tune, such as it is (and it's not much of one I admit but I enjoyed doing it), must have been nicked from them. Lyrics: Big Billy came from Mexborough Town It's hard to keep a bad man down At first we thought he was absolutely crap We'd never seen a player as bad as that But Billy ran round and round He chased himself into the ground He fought for the amber and black Big Billy, Big Billy, Big Billy In our attack He was a hero at Boothferry Park But you wouldn't want to meet him after dark Built like a brickie 'cos that's what he was But he crashed in the goals and became our God Billy chased defenders down They always knew he was around The crack of his elbow on bone Big Billy, Big Billy, Big Billy Smacks another goal home We went 2-1 up against Liverpool Billy and Keithy Edwards got the goals Hansen thought he was the hardest man in the game Every defender he was up against felt the same They should build a statue to him 'Cos Billy he was the King Instead there's one for some royal But there's only one Big Billy, one King Billy, one King Billy Billy Whitehurst's our God.
