fabulous people

Joe Jackson

Billy grew up in the middle of everywhere
He never had a say
Billy wondered every weekend what he was doing there
Everything was grey

Then he looked at the rainbow flying on the shopping mall
(On the shopping mall)
How could anyone say no? Billy had to have it all
And he said

Can I be one of the fabulous people?
Always fun and never scared?
I tried being myself, but no one cared

Soon, Billy was like a kid in a makeup store
He had to get away
Especially because Sodom-on-Sea
was the place he headed for
Happy, glad and gay

Then he looked at the rainbow flying on the City Hall
(On the City Hall)
How could anyone say no? Billy had to have it all
And he said

Can I be one of the fabulous people?
Always fun and never scared?
I tried being myself, but no one cared

One night, Billy went in a place where there were no girls
Oh, happy day
A genie appeared
whispered in his ear, You wanna give it a whirl?
Billy ran away

But he looked at the rainbow hanging by the mirror ball
(By the mirror ball)
How could anyone say no? Billy had to have it all
And he said

Can I be one of the fabulous people?
Always fun and never scared?
I tried being myself, but no one cared

Never mind, Billy
