Diane Schuur Stay Away From Bill
"[Karrin Allyson]
If you want a man you can love
and be his one and only
[Deedles Schuur]
If you want a man who will be there
and always will
K: If this is who you're looking for
D: The prince who's going to show up
at your door
Both: Whatever you do,
Stay away from Bill
[Horn & piano interlude]
D: Stay away from Bill, he's a beast
and you'll always be lonely
K: He won't ever call, and he'll run
when he's had his fill
D: He'll put you on a pedestal
K: That's right before he puts you
through the mill
Both: Whatever you do,
Stay away from Bill
Both: If you're wonderin' if there's any good in him
When it comes to Bill, the answer's no
He'll lie and deceive you
He'll love you and leave you
and ohhhhhh.....
D: You'll be miserable
K: So stay away from Bill
'Cause he's bad, and he's nothin' but trouble
D: [He's nothin' but trouble]
K: Stay away from Bill
D: [counterpoint] Stay away from Bill
K: If you do
Both: And you're gonna be fiiiiiiine.....
D: He'll have you and hurt you
and then he will desert you
K: He'll shock you and shake you
He'll rock you and he'll break you
Both: He'll chill you and thrill you
He'll kill you, then he'll bill you
Stay--a-way--from--Bill
That--boy--is--miiiiiiine
D: That boy is mine
K: No, that boy is mine
D: Did you hear me, girlfriend?
That boy is mine
K: I heard you loud and clear
That boy is mine
D: No he's not, no he's not
K: [humming]
D: I'll tell you one more time, girlfriend,
He's mine
D: [humming]
K: Deedles, that boy is mine
D: Karryn, that boy is mine
[Karryn - scatting]
[Deedles - scatting]
K: Stay away from Bill
D: Stay away from Bill"
