lyrics

Billy loved Sal Sally kinda loved Bill
A day at the bay was their kinda thrill
Billy said Sal when I’m dreaming of you
Your eyes are like water a beautiful blue
You float me boat was Bill’s favourite line
Billy was floating in rhythm and rhyme

Sally wasn’t sure she had time on her side
Bill was like the force of an incoming tide
Bill you’re a big boat sometimes no rudder
Sometimes I love ya sometimes I shudder
Bill you’re the wind filling a sail
Making waves like a force ten gale
Then Billy started singing

Chorus

You be the water I’ll be the wind
We can make waves together
Or I’ll be the water you be the wind
We can make waves forever

Sally asked Bill to meet her Mum and Dad
At Christmas at their Coochie Mudlo pad
Bill wear your best thongs give them a scrub
Wear your best shirt and stay out of the mud
Billy shone through by humming his tune
With Sally below the Coochie Mudlo moon
And they were singing

Chorus

Now ten years on they’re sailing along
Two kids and a dog growing up strong
Christmas Poinciana’s blossom in red
Bill’s lucky thongs are under his bed
Ollie and Jessa at the bay for a swim
Together at Christmas you’ll hear them sing
Yeah they were singing
Chorus Chorus
