Billy's Genes Lyrics
Despite all my friends telling me not to
I've finally managed to track down and find you
It was hard growing up without a dad
But now I know it's you, I'm sorta glad
You left us in such a mess
No need for a paternity test
More than just an educated guess
You broke more than just a young girl's heart
My mother always told me
You, not me, were the mistake
She never regretted the chance she had to take
The 1980s were a wild and crazy time
And having fun is not a crime (Hoo-hoo)
But considering the way you behaved (Hoo-hoo)
You've probably got more children
Than Screamin' Jay (Hawkins)
You left us in such a mess
No need for a paternity test
More than just an educated guess
You broke more than just a young girl's heart
My mother always told me
You, not me, were the mistake
She never regretted the chance she had to take
My mother always told me
Everything you put her through
I told her we're better off without you
She can't have been the only girl
Illegitimate children all over the world
One day you're gonna get caught
And that's an awful lot of child support
You left us in such a mess
No need for a paternity test
More than just an educated guess
You broke more than just a young girl's heart
My mother always told me
I was a surprise, not a mistake
She never regrets the chance she had to take
My mother always told me
Everything you put her through
I told her we're better off without you
I've finally managed to track down and find you
It was hard growing up without a dad
But now I know it's you, I'm sorta glad
No need for a paternity test
More than just an educated guess
You broke more than just a young girl's heart
You, not me, were the mistake
She never regretted the chance she had to take
And having fun is not a crime (Hoo-hoo)
But considering the way you behaved (Hoo-hoo)
You've probably got more children
Than Screamin' Jay (Hawkins)
No need for a paternity test
More than just an educated guess
You broke more than just a young girl's heart
You, not me, were the mistake
She never regretted the chance she had to take
Everything you put her through
I told her we're better off without you
Illegitimate children all over the world
One day you're gonna get caught
And that's an awful lot of child support
No need for a paternity test
More than just an educated guess
You broke more than just a young girl's heart
I was a surprise, not a mistake
She never regrets the chance she had to take
Everything you put her through
I told her we're better off without you

A response to the Michael Jackson hit, "Billie Jean", in which a man denies a crazed woman is his lover and that her child is his. It includes lines referring to advice not to "go around breaking young girls' hearts." In "Billy's Genes", that child has grown up and discovered who his father was, and roundly criticises his behaviour of breaking hearts and homes.
