Lyrics
Oh, Billy Brown had lived an ordinary lifeTwo kids, a dog and the precautionary wife
While it was all going accordingly to plan
Then Billy Brown fell in love with another man
He met his lover almost every single day
Making excuses through his dodgy holiday
Unto religion that he said he newly found
They didn't know that his faith was earthly bound
Brown, oh, Billy Brown
Don't let the stars get you down
Don't let the waves let you drown
Brown, oh, Billy Brown
Gonna pick you up like a paper cup
Gonna shake the water out of every nook
Oh, Billy Brown
Oh, Billy Brown needed a place somewhere to go
He found an island off the coast of Mexico
Leaving his lover and his family behind
Oh, Billy Brown needed to find some peace of mind
And on his journey and his travels on the way
He met a girlie who was brave enough to say
When they made love he shared the burden of his mind
Oh, Billy Brown you are a victim of the times
Brown, oh, Billy Brown
Don't let the stars get you down
Don't let the waves let you drown
Brown, oh, Billy Brown
Gonna pick you up like a paper cup
Gonna shake the water out of every nook
Oh, Billy Brown
Brown, oh, Billy Brown
Gonna pick you up like a paper cup
Gonna shake the water out of every nook
Oh, Billy Brown
Oh, Billy Brown had lived an ordinary life
Two kids, a dog and the precautionary wife
While it was all going accordingly to plan
Then Billy Brown fell in love with another man

What other choirs say about ChorusOnline
100% legal sheet music
ChorusOnline has been working honestly and professionally from the start (2008).
Honest because we work with the permission of the copyrights holders. We are assisted by BINGH lawyers in Amsterdam, specialized in copyright.
Professional because we only work with highly trained arrangers who have years of experience. In addition, each arrangement is checked by both the ChorusOnline team and the copyrights holder. So we can guarantee the highest possible quality.
Copyright Act and linking to copyrights holders
Arranging and selling (making public) of arrangements is prohibited without the permission of the copyrights holders. This is described in article 1 of the Copyright Act
You can download the English version of the Copy Right Act here.
Our high-tech payment system is linked to the copyrights holders. At the moment of payment, the copyrights holder (the artist) receives his/her royalties within a few seconds and you, our customer, a legal package (PDF + MP3). Our packages have been put together with the greatest care and are approved by the copyrights holder.
Costs and your choice.
This all means that, due to royalties, we are probably a bit more expensive than other providers/arrangers. If an arrangement is offered cheaper by someone else, you can be almost certain that it is an illegal arrangement that is duping our team of professionals.
More and more choirs worldwide appreciate our approach and therefore choose legal sheet music via ChorusOnline. We rely on the same approach during the ordering process: honestly indicate the amount of choir members, you will sing with a better feeling. In this way, our team can continue to enlarge our beautiful legal choir catalogue.
Kind Regards
